This book is so wild but there are some aspects that I really love. It didnt feel as thematic as Baru, but I really loved the Annihilation-esque effects of Blackbird. I desperately wanna paint the nerve angel.

Yeah, really digging into to the Out There. I saw it as a continuation of Dickinson thinking about the ethic of empire and hegemony, but definitely not as heavy as Baru, for all that it meditates on very serious and real world topics. Like, I was talking to my father the other day, also a sci-fi reader, and recommending it, and it felt weird to say "And it's thinking about genocide and complicity and is also a lot of fun", y'know, but that's part of what makes it powerful for me, I think. Yes, the Blackbird stuff is amazing. I'm hoping someone draws Chaya soon, as you could tell, she was on my mind filming.

What a great review and SUCH an interesting cocktail. Love a good amaro (although have never tried yoghurt in a cocktail before!). My copy of Exordia arrived in the mail today so I might need to cancel all my appointments 😂

Thank you!! I don't use it often (used yogurt for the Dandelion Dynasty series by Ken Liu and buttermilk for Alex Grecian's RED RABBIT), but it's a nice way to add that richness of cream and milk which is much more common in cocktails while also adding more body and tang. That extra bit of sharpness. I think you might need to! I was completely entranced.
