What? Zoe Amos’ (pen name
Janet Williams) “Superior” takes you on a fictitious journey after the Second
Civil War.
That’s interesting…
but how gay is it? Amos’ story follows young lesbian love and the trials arising from
living in a protectorate. With vivid imagery and diction Amos allows the reader
to delve into a new world far from the one we know. While the book is fiction,
it parallels modern day struggles found accompanying same-sex relationships.
Cool! But is it any
good? Formally creating characters with depth and hope, Amos engages the
reader with suspense that will have you rooting for their survival. I personally
found the read eloquent yet frequently pretentious. Struggling to
understand the time-period until three-quarters in, I was re-reading previous
chapters to grab my footing.
Who should read this book? Regardless of my own comprehension, I would
recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration to live a life beyond the
societal constraints they’ve been born into.
