2022 book 137

 Premee Mohamed's And What Can We Offer You Tonight

I got a bunch of the Neon Hemlock novellas since I enjoyed the previous one I read and several more were on my to-read list; this one in particular was high up because it won a Nebula. Really interesting world and concept—it’s set in a high class brothel in a far future city, and events are set into motion when one of the courtesans is murdered, but then wakes back up for VENGEANCE. My problem was really with the main character—I wanted just a little bit more character development. Or I wished she made different choices, though I can’t say I didn’t buy her motivations. But it was all a little vague. Still, this was interesting enough that it made me want to check out what else the author has written. B+.
