I just finished Severance by Ling Ma, which I randomly picked out at the local anarchist bookstore. I liked it a lot and finished it in two days. Now I’m a quarter of the way through Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam and am LOVING it. I’m trying so hard to read slowly cause I want to savor it. I also bought Station Eleven and am planning on reading it after I finish LTWB.
I liked the writing style of both so far but I’m absolutely loving reading Leave the World Behind, significantly more than I liked Severance. I’m not totally attached to the genre necessarily, but I do like the plot of both of these and I really like that the main character(s) include/center women. Haven’t read Station Eleven yet so I can’t comment on whether I like that too.
