DM News:Book Review: Volatile Memory
LutherAshley replied to James Thomson's topic in General Discussion
The world-building is imaginative and the plot moves quickly, but note that the second-person perspective and brevity make character relationships and emotional depth a bit rushed. Overall, this is considered a strong, engaging work - especially for fans of speculative science fiction and experimental storytelling. -
DM News:Book Review: The River Has Roots

El-Mohtar’s vision of magic is especially striking: grammar itself becomes a raw, flowing energy, harvested from the river between worlds and entrusted to those who wield it. As the story notes, “That is the nature of grammar—it is always tense, like an instrument, aching for release, longing to transform present into past into future, is into was into will.” It’s a breathtaking conceit, both poetic and wholly original.
