Weird & Wonderful- A Taste of Honey

Another T. Sean Steele poster
For the February meeting of City Lit Books Weird & Wonderful club, we discussed Kai Ashante Wilson's 2016 novella A Taste of Honey.

Set in the same world as Wilson's The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps (2015), A Taste of Honey is a kind of interrupted romance—chapters alternate between the 10-day affair of Aqib & Lucrio and the 7 decades of Aqib's life afterwards. There's magic here, gods and strange technologies, but the story focuses entirely on relationships.

Interesting discussion and unusually mixed reviews. Notes and possible spoilers below:
