Sublimation by Isabel J. Kim
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a very interesting concept for a book. It started like a character study where Soyoung meets Rose and they are getting to know each other. It was about family and connection and home. And then the sci-fi parts took over for a while where the reader learned more and more about the concept of instances and how this world works. I found the middle to be the most interesting, for me. There were explorations of immigration, identity, family, home, and even love. But I felt that the story was too long and got too convoluted towards the end. Maybe it tried to be too many things at once. I did love the idea and will think about it for a long time.
The dual narration by Major Curda and Michelle H. Lee was absolutely excellent.
with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
