Roth always has a solid idea but her execution is always the problem. You can tell her writing has improved but it also felt contrived at times. There some great quotes and I liked Kreon thru other’s eyes but for a short story, not much was explained. Why are they on another planet? What happened to earth? Unless I missed it which is totally possible, it wasn’t explained. People just hate the naturally born people Once again, Roth isn’t really leaning into why that’s dangerous or beneficial. That’s inherently an interesting topic-designer babies. In this futuristic world(we don’t know the year but I guess that doesn’t matter) if you give birth naturally, your children won’t have a soul so people extract dead people’s DNA to make children.
All three women were quite unique in their backstories, their current situations, and their view of their own futures which was a great start but that was it, a great start. Is there going to be a book two because if not…yikes.
Yes, men confuse protection with control and that was good but you have three different types of women dealing with this in their own way but they are just in their head about it and what they are saying isn’t anything new. She’s trying to tackle the patriarchy and the oppression/controlling women’s bodies but she’s not saying anything new about it. I felt like Roth got so excited about our shitty politics and wanted to write about it with a sci if slant but she didn’t know how to incorporate it. And neither is he.This book is trying to do too much. When he welcomes her and her siblings into his mansion, Antigone sees it for what it really is: a gilded cage, where she is a captive as well as a guest.īut her uncle will soon learn that no cage is unbreakable. As her militant uncle Kreon rises to claim it, all Antigone feels is rage. Passing into the Archive should be cause for celebration, but Antigone’s parents were murdered, leaving her father’s throne vacant. Without the Archive, where the genes of the dead are stored, humanity will end.
Outside the last city on Earth, the planet is a wasteland. In Arch-Conspirator, Roth reaches back to the root of legend and delivers a world of tomorrow both timeless and unexpected.
