Media Reviews September 2019

(How is it September wtf)

Books:

Provenance by Anne Leckie: Fun space opera about a plucky young woman getting caught up in Alien Shenanigans. Set slightly after Leckie's earlier Imperial Radch series, but only references it very vaguely. Lots of unremarked queerness: the main character's culture has male/female/non binary genders as standard, and I don't think any relationships that show up on screen are m/f. Also beauty standards involve being fat with tightly curled hair. The romances are a bit underwritten but sweetly innoffensive, and the friendships are great. A little earnestly fluffy, but not too much.

Games:

Delete: Another twist on minesweeper, this time in three dimensions, with the ability to move around parts of the puzzle to see what that does to the numbers. A simple little game, but very cheap, and I enjoyed it!

Anime:

Demon Slayer: A nice Japanese boy's family are killed by vampire-esque demons...except his sister, who becomes one herself. The two of them go to try to cure her (and afaict a lot of demon slaying in involved, hence the title) Perfectly fine but didn't grab me.

Movies:

Love Simon: I understand the value of a m/m Conventional Highschool Drama About Nice Normal All-American Teens, but it's not a genre I'm into, and I got too irritated to continue.
