Translation State - Tumblr Posts

translation state has everything a girlguy could want in a sci-fi book. horrifying cannibalism puberty. horrifying cannibalism arranged marriage. horrifying cannibalism gender discovery. it has it all.

Ann Leckie is really on to something with the deep-seated need to exude a viscous fluid and liquefy your internal organs in order to merge, literally and ecstatically, with a compatible being, in a way that is definitely not sex, but is also definitely sex

I just finished Translation State by Ann Leckie and my thoughts are not fully baked yet but it got me thinking about Embassytown and Truth of the Divine and yeah basically I just really like books about truly alien species trying to relate to each each other despite that being kind of impossible and want to read more stuff like that.
