The Spare Man

Mary Robinette Kowal

StoryGraph · Read

Not a bad book, though not a great one. My main issue with it is the dialogue, which clanged a bit to my ear. The prose here is serviceable, like in The Lady Astronaut series, and it's a very readable book, but I left it feeling a bit dissatisfied.

That said, Gimlet is a great name for a service dog, which accounts for the fourth star here.
