Foxhunt by Rem Wigmore

In a lush solarpunk future, plants have stripped most of the poison from the air and bounty hunters keep resource hoarders in check. Orfeus only wants to be a travelling singer, famed and adored. She has her share of secrets, but she’s no energy criminal, so why does a bounty hunter want her dead? Not just any bounty hunter but the Wolf, most fearsome of all the Order of the Vengeful Wild. Orfeus will call in every favor she has to find out, seeking answers while clinging to her pride and fending off the hunters of the Wild. But she isn’t the only one at every misstep endangers the enemies she turns into allies, and the allies she brings into danger. There are worse monsters than the Wolf hiding in this new green world.

Who are YOUR favorite non-binary authors?

[aroaessidhe]

a few NZ adult sff books!

for @thereadingchallengechallenge following an ask from a week or two ago

most of these authors also have other books that I love! I have mentioned specifically their books that are set here (or Aotearoa-inspired fantasy)

From A Shadow Grave by Andi Buchanan (alternate history fantasy based on a real life murder/wellington ghost story)

The Dawnhounds by Sasha Stronach (queer alchemical-biopunk dystopian fantasy)

No Man’s Land by AJ Fitzwater (queer historical fantasy about land girls in WWII)

The Stone Wētā by Octavia Cade (climate fiction novella about an underground network protecting science data in the future)

The Wind City by Rem Wigmore (urban fantasy set in Wellington)

How To Get A Girlfriend When You’re A Terrifying Monster by Marie Cardno (cute sapphic monster romance novella)

Kurangaituku by Whiti Hereaka (nonlinear myth retelling, this is definitely more in the direction of literary fiction tbh)

Butcherbird by Cassie Hart (supernatural horror/suspense, not quite sff enough for my tastes but might be of interest?)

Wake by Elizabeth Knox (similarly more horror/thriller than sff-y; she also has a fantasy called The Absolute Book that I haven’t read yet)

I already mentioned Na Viro by Gina Cole, but since I think it’s adult I’ll mention it again here! it’s a Pasifikafuturist sci-fi/fantasy

[the-local-library-witch]

Can you recommend a (few maybe) good books about the environment/solar punk fantasy ish novels?✨🌿

Hello! I’ve found a couple of books I think you’ll like.

First is “The Summer Prince” by Alaya Dawn Johnson. This book has some great Afro and Amazofuturism themes. Two artists named June and Enki fall in love and use their art as a form of rebellion against a government trying to limit access to technology.

The second one I found is “Foxhunt” by Rem Wigmore. In an improved future, the protagonist Orfeus is mistaken as an energy criminal and is being hunted by The Order of the Vengeful Wild. This book has great solarpunk and LGBTQIA+ themes and representation.

I hope you like them!

Travel Documents 126: Wolfpack

by Rem Wigmore

Genre:  sci-fi, near-future, social change, cultural change

The Dust Cover Copy

Orfeus the hunter is searching for redemption in the wake of destruction… Both Wolfpack and the first book in the duology, Foxhunt, are currently out of print.

The Scene

Worldbuilding

Whelp, after writing this review, I found out that the book has been pulled by the publisher and is temporarily out of print. Oh well. When the book comes back, the review is here.

Building on the events of Book 1, Orpheus finds even bigger and more interesting trouble to get into. The world gets more flesh on its bones in the second installment, and things get hopeful in a surprising new direction!

I particularly appreciated the expansion of the world to explore the cultural evolution of more types of groups after the climate goes to hell and people get serious about fixing it. This concrete grounding in varied cultures—not all of them nice—gives the world more depth and reality. Add in the exploration of legacy left by our predecessors, both good and bad, in the form of the Cloud Forest, and the deep thought on personal choice, and this world is one worth walking into.

The Crowd

Characterization

Where the characterization was rocky in Book 1, it is absolutely rock solid in the second installment. All characters are on point for their personalities, from Bright (off her rocker, but consistiently so) to Orpheus (ditto) to Faol (conflicted and complex, and steady as the turn of the earth). Even the characterizations of non-human beings are just right in this work. I appreciated seeing a few antagonists with more grounding in motivations that, yes, can warp a mind, but make perfect sense in historical context. All around, a real improvement on the first volume!

Writing Style

With Orpheus’s chaotic-good approach to life giving us our lens on this healed future Earth atoning and the humans living in atonement on it, the style works perfectly.

The Moves

Plot

Did I say chaotic good? Yeah, if there’s ever a movie of Wolfpack this will be the opening scene: a floating city crashing, a freaked young woman jumping clear, and a freeze-frame with the narration ‘I bet you’re wondering how this happened. Well…funny story, so am I.’ Everything makes sense in the end, but once in a while-in a good way-readers pause and think ‘Orpheus, how do you get yourself into these things?!’

With just the right touch of pathos to balance the shenanigans, this mix works perfectly.

Overall Rating

A searching of the soul, a fight for the good, and a hope for the future in a book. Well worth your time.

I just think everyone should read foxhunt by rem wigmore. as a treat. you owe it to yourself.

[aroaessidhe]

sorry for sending two asks back to back but this request is my white whale and I ask most book people if they’ve got anything for it

anyways, do you know of any adult sci fi or fantasy novels that are written in the last 10 years that have a government that is actively trying to improve the lives of its people and is overall a force for good?

all good! I'll answer this one first anyway.

Honestly my first thought is, is that possible, lmao - but for real, I feel like in most books it's either Government Bad or it just theoretically exists but isn't relevant to the narrative? Or otherwise is barely recognisable as a government ie more community based systems. I'm not sure I can think of much where the government is good and also significant in the narrative, other than I guess HotE as you mentioned.

important point also: I simply don't remember the finer details of these things. here's some that come to mind, but probably aren't quite what you're looking for:

The Thread That Binds & The Tale That Twines by Cedar McCloud are set in a present day & 70s inspired fantasy world, and the government of the country that the MCs live in is good-ish? at the very least, they don't have police.

A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys, if I remember, has the MC living in a co-op community area, but there's other bad corporate governments

I would say Pet by Akwaeke Emezi, but that's MG. and also I guess the main plot is that the utopian system still fails people sometimes

A Psalm for the Wild-Built - I can't remember how much whatever the governing system is mentioned in here or what it's like? the broader worldbuilding is a bit iffy but the concept is more or less 'even in a utopia people can be lost or depressed' so

Foxhunt by Rem Wigmore is also a solarpunk future - I think still with somewhat flawed leadership.

Na Viro by Gina Cole - I can't remember finer details, but I remember it being a Better Future (aside from climate change), but also I vaguely remember some systemic issues as part of the plot, I just can't remember if they come from the academy or govt lol

The Seep by Chana Porter is about mind aliens who invade and make earth into a utopia, essentially. Again, I can't remember the governmental situation specifically.

basically all of these are in a solarpunk direction and like...moving away from a traditional government, and the story isn't necessarily focused on that, so maybe not what you're looking for anyway, haha
