In the Lives of Puppets, T.J. Klune (4.0)
I enjoyed this book but was disappointed after reading the afterword by the author. He indicated that he had been forced to make changes to the story by his editors. Unfortunately, knowing that, I can’t help but wonder what would have been different and was left feeling a bit unsatisfied. The book starts as a Pinocchio-like story of family and existence and pivots part-way through to a Wizard of Oz-like story with strange characters and a perilous journey. The overall ideas included were interesting and refreshing, with many touching moments. I recommend this for all who enjoy unique science fiction, though perhaps skip the afterword.
