Julie R reviewed Annex by Rich Larson (The Violet wars -- book one)
Like Lord of the Flies, but with aliens
5 stars
This was great. I love Larson's short fiction, so I finally figured I should read his novels. I blew through this in a day. Immersive with some pretty cool twists. The balance between character and plot was fabulous, and I think that's partly why I loved it. I was really nervous about how he'd do writing Violet, but I think he did a good job, although there are several emotionally painful parts that warrant a trigger warning for transgender people to brace for. I can elaborate if anyone needs more info before they decide to read it or not.
