Why read it?
1 author picked The Imaginators as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The writing is really strong in this one, with vivid descriptions and great metaphors. The badass main character walks a thin line between hero and anti-hero, but she still shows vulnerabilities that make her relatable. The novella features a small cast with a tight story, so it’s a fast read that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.
From Justin's list on The best space opera books with a hint (or a whole lot) of magic.
