The Death I Gave Him par Em X. Liu

I adore this book. It has so many elements that I love: a mystery, a love(ish) story, interesting characters, and great writing. I think I can understand why people don't like this or tend to be lukewarm about it, but it was exactly what I was hoping it would be when I picked it up. Especially since I am a fan of queer love stories (though this a contentious topic, I fully agree that it's a queer romance), epistolary novels, and AI main characters.

If Found, Return to Hell par Em X Liu

There was nothing about this book I didn't like. The description of working in a call center (which is somewhat similar to my own job) was spot on, especially back when I still worked in the office. I loved the characters, the story, the writing, and the narration. Though somewhat short, every minute was so well done and the conclusion was perfect (and perfectly satisfying). Can wait to read more books by Liu.

I dont want to spoil the story here but I will say that the world building is excellent, because it's our world. This is 21st century corporate America, with magic. So of course magic is a business, with endless bureaucracy and harassed interns left to handle the mess as best they can. And the story is funny and moving, and it made me smile and laugh. I loved it.… (plus d'informations)
