“Leikara Ljóð” begins with birdsong and builds instrumentation mostly through handclaps and humming, and the album’s title means “to bloom” in Norse. It’s calmer and more emotionally stable than both previous records, more keen to evoke natural imagery and sounds.
Everything was answered nicely but there wasn't a lot of unnecessary detail.If Susanne Sundfør’s 2015 masterpiece Ten Love Songs was a harsh, often dangerous exploration at electropop so sharp it cut, and her follow-up Music For People In Trouble was a recalibration towards stripped-down folk, then 2023’s Blómi lies somewhere in between. I found myself reading in every spare 5 minutes I had! There were other times I thought there were too many side plots going on for things to get cleared up, but in the end everything came together nicely. I found it very hard to put this book down. There were some points in the book that I felt it was getting a little slow, but everything picked up again quickly. Souza took all of the best parts of these books (which were written between 62 and 80 years ago) and mixed them with the knowledge of the way some things are today (such as the nets between labor housing) and came out with a wonderful dystopian novel. In this case I feel it was done perfectly. Usually I would feel this makes a book unoriginal and not worthy of a five star rating.
This book definitely felt a lot like an amalgam of 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and Brave New World. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.I received an e-copy of this book from the author, Mark Souza, through a LibraryThing member giveaway. **Disclaimer: I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I look forward to reading more books from Mr. I really enjoyed reading this and I know that other people who enjoy this genre will enjoy it also. At first I felt that Robyn was very selfish and inconsiderate of Moyer's feelings but as the book progressed I found both of them growing and changing. I found this book to be well written and the characters to be well developed. I cannot even imagine wanting a baby so much and not being able to have one (even by adoption) but I know there are people out there who do. It makes me truly grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy. I can imagine our world exactly like Moyer's world and it scares me. I found this book to be really interesting and thought provoking.
I am new to this genre so the originality aspect is not a factor for me. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.Others have stated that this book is similar to other futuristic novels.
