About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
**SCIENCE FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH** - THE TIMES
"Skyward Innfeels like an instant classic of the genre." -The Guardian
"Rarely has a writer who is not Philip K. Dick had so much fun building a world only to take it apart."
- LA Times
Drink down the brew and dream of a better Earth.
Skyward Inn, within the high walls of the Western Protectorate, is a place of safety, where people come together to tell stories of the time before the war with Qita.
But safety from what? Qita surrendered without complaint when Earth invaded; Innkeepers Jem and Isley, veterans from either side, have regrets but few scars.
Their peace is disturbed when a visitor known to Isley comes to the Inn asking for help, bringing reminders of an unnerving past and triggering an uncertain future.
Did humanity really win the war?

Great, unusual story. Performance a bit much
Recommended if you enjoyed “The Left Hand of Darkness”, intriguing and unexpected story.
I wish the narrator had toned down the voices and accents a bit. It was more like listening to a radio play, too emotional for me to listen in bed.

In peace we come - thoughtful perspective.
Often books can leave me disappointed with the ending. This left me feeling thoughtful, wanting more and yet at a good point to jump off the storey. The narrator did a great job of holding characters throughout.

Dreary and full of bad stereotypes
The pov character of a teenage boy was 2d and stereotypical to the extreme. He only cared about masturbation and violence, and was shocked he felt love for a family friend and her dog. The performance sounded like everyone was almost on the point of tears, very one note, but then, so was the book. Disappointing.
