Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Review: 2019.375 (A Word for Authors)

Pro: The different types of “books” described are very creative.

Con: There’s no protagonist and no plot. This is by design, of course, but the result makes for a pretty dull read. Some of the ideas aren’t too great either, e.g. sentient stars.
