Why read it?
1 author picked Curveball as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Curveball is less compelled by plot than by setting and character. Soreseās future is gorgeously imagined in melting black, white, and gray with electric orange highlights.

A triumph!
From Sophie's list on for speculative fiction lovers.
