Jane of Battery Park by Jaye VinerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I bought a copy of Jane of Battery Park by Jaye Viner after hearing her read an excerpt from it at WisCon this year. The book is billed as a romance, which isn't my cup of tea usually, BUT Jaye had me at "There's a cult..." It is really more than a romance. It's a romance in the way The Hunger Games is a romance. I'd call it a dystopian, romantic thriller. I'm also a sucker for epistolary story-telling, so the news/magazine articles that provide background info were fun for me. I hope Jaye does a prequel just about the Vanguard. I need to know more!
Bonus points for gathering creative inspiration from a spider. Extra points for having a land acknowledgement! I think that is the first time I've seen it done in a book.
