Rosewater by tade thompson6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The Review: Rosewater is one of the most compelling, complex and colourful books I have ever read. Part Blade Runner, part District 9 (done right) this is the type of story that will no doubt carve out its own cult status, and change perceptions of what sci fi of today (and tomorrow) can do when it dares to be different. The Ugly Truth: Combining cyberpunk and the cultural richness of a near-future Nigeria is one of the most unexpected things I have ever had the joy of reading. It doesn’t get off to a bumpy or even a slow start, but I did have to invest in it as a reader, but I’m so glad I did as it paid off dividends. The Good: I can’t even attempt to summarise the good in a line or two – all I can say is that Rosewater blew my expectations out of the water in every way possible. ![]()
