Brown Girl in the Ring

Brown Girl in the Ring, Nalo Hopkinson's first novel, is an impressive work of imagination. Her Haitian dominated near future Toronto is alive with sights and sounds and smells. Her world of Caribbean magics slamming into cutting edge medical tech really works, channelling a little bit of the old RPG Shadowrun but replacing information for organs. I would recommend it to anyone who loves Sci-Fi or Fantasy or Sci-Fantasy.
But I can't muster much more from my personal response than, "That was okay." I want to, but I can't. I put down Brown Girl in the Ring feeling vaguely disappointed. I wish I could tell you why.

I started reading this recently! It didn't grab me quite enough to keep going, but I do want to finish it. I liked how it's set in Toronto, haha.
