Occupy Me by Tricia Sullivan

Occupy Me

2/5. An entry in that peculiar subgenre of scifi where angels are some variety of quantum beings. This had all sorts of things I like – lesbians, dinosaur battle – but managed to be that flavor of weird that I find dull instead of engaging. Something something sentient oil, higher-dimensional angel wings, time travel, artificial intelligence, and a prehistoric frog. And yet . . . dull, and I'm not entirely sure what actually happened.



Yes, still. Very soon, though.

To be honest, at this point I'm reading your reviews for the last line. (Okay, not just for that. But I do read that line first.)

*quantum beings gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah* (my graduate degree was related, which means I now have a very very hard time reading almost any sf with "quantum" as a descriptor)
