This is from the 2023 winner of the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. Thoughts?

Sounds like an anime novelisation. Isn't that basically what all SF is nowadays?

>look up what the fuck a "Pitch Perfect" is
>it's an American movie from 2012
Why would you reference a movie in your book? Much less mention an old movie that nobody has ever heard of? Most new movies are completely forgotten within 2 years.
Is literature so archaic at this point that we reference pop culture movie horseshit now?

This isn't even mentioning the vocabulary of the text (I'm going to assume the whole novel) is written on a 5th grade level anyway. Mass literacy was a huge mistake.

Never heard of that movie, but that is like goyslop: le book. Seriously that last line sounds like something I would think while I'm horny or whatever.
