Bioshifter, Book 2

De: Thundamoo, Natalie Maher

Narrado por: Sarah Beth Pfeifer

Hannah is not human, and she's not sure what will happen when she stops pretending otherwise.

Still stuck in a slowly mutating body on Earth and still waking up in a fantasy world whenever she sleeps, Hannah's stress continues to mount every single day. As magic continues to spread to her friends—whether they like it or not—Hannah is forced to confront what that magic means about her and what her terrifying Goddess wants her to do with it.

Clever and thoughtful

This series and the Hive Mind book are wonderful. When can we get print versions?

The stories are entertaining, the ideas are clever, the characters are relatable, and most of all, I feel seen. Ms Maher understands nerd brain with such depth and clarity she just has to be one of us.

An amazing second volume

I really like bioshifter, it feels like an incredibly personal and well-thought-out take on the fantasy genre, eager to push outside of the normal conventions and to show those things that make it special or deeply personal.
As a "sequel"/second volume, I think it is better than first one, as I feel it explores more the relationships presented and builds on the groundwork stablished at the beggining.

I have some things I don't really like about it tho.
The dialog feels good most of the times, but there are moments where it is super akward.
There are also other things, like the handelling of mental health (which at least for me it's good), but most of the things that were awkward in the first volume are ironed here.
In conclusion, I think that if you went through the first volume and you like it, you should grab this one, it just gets better.

levels on levels

This author writes about mental illness/neurodivergence/sexuality through perfectly resonant scifi analogies, and I just love it.

changed my opinion.

An enjoyable story with some problems. I would of just deleted my review but don't know how.

I’m left as heck and even this was a bit much at times

Narrator is absolutely awesome and the concepts that were great in the first book are still great here. That being said I feel like I’m being lectured consistently. I understand the need/want to have representation of the LGBTQ+ community in books and media but holy heck it doesn’t need to be mentioned every five minutes.

I’ll be watching for the next book but hope the author tones it down a bit. Folks can be queer without it being the absolute defining feature.
