À propos de cette écoute

Odd-mannered, obsessive, withdrawn, Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her ogre and freak. She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, as they accuse, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remained of her world, save for stories told around the cookfire.

Aster lives in the low-deck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations the Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster, whom they consider to be less than human.

When the autopsy of Matilda's sovereign reveals a surprising link between his death and her mother's suicide some quarter century before, Aster retraces her mother's footsteps. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer and sowing the seeds of civil war, Aster learns there may be a way off the ship if she's willing to fight for it.

    Interesting premise but terrible science

    The premise and the social commentary are great and the author clearly had an important story to tell but I wish she had left out the science fiction because clearly she hasn’t done her research nor had she consulted experts and it shows. The science is so bad it completely took me out of the story. There are also many plot holes and inconsistencies (a very advanced society that has a literal sun on their spaceship still needs human labour to plough the fields and collect sugarcane ?). As for the reading performance, it’s very monotonous.

    boring, I DNFed it.

    This book was so hyped, I never expected it to be so shallow. I think it's the package of black writer, black characters being agressed by obviously white people and intersexuality, I should have been a bit more careful. It seems that nowadays the subjects one puts into a book are more important than telling a story.

    Not that it was entirely bad but I couldn't handle it. The love story between the poor black girl and the topnotch leading elite white doctor was sooo boring. Tropes, on tropes, on tropes.

    I really wanted to love this as much as many people but it really was not worth the hype. Nothing wrong with the narrator though, she did a great job. It's just that the content was lame.

    Also there was absolutely no point to transpose slavery to space, none. There could have been, I waited for it but no.
