![]() I also get why some people are not big fans of this, but I consider it part of the charm of her work, and I think she does a solid job of using them with care and thought without being TOO heavy-handed.ģ) I also think she is a largely effective sex-scene writer there is enough variety and diversity of experience in her works where things stay pretty interesting, and the scenes are usually pretty sincere in their awkwardness without taking away from the stuff we like about a good sex scene in a book. ![]() I'm okay with authors having a place where they like to live as writers as long as it doesn't render them or their work boring.Ģ) I also think her decision to be unapologetic in her use of tropes is absolutely fine. It's a perfectly respectable niche to fill, and so long as the variety is still there in spite of the STEM basis, it will be fine if she stays in that space. ![]() Instead, I will take the opportunity to elucidate on what I notice from the author, Ali Hazelwood, across her works up to this point (September, 2022): what I think is working, what I find challenging, and what I hope to see.ġ) Though it's entirely possible that Hazelwood will run out of STEM contexts for her protagonists to exist in (she HAS already used NASA twice), I think the choice to keep her characters in that space is completely fine. I have reviewed each of the individual novellas in this collection already, so I won't go into those specifics here. ![]()
