Glorious Angels

A bit of a slog for me, again I think it's a mismatch between reader and book. This is firmly a new weird book, suitable for fans of China Mieville.

In a city where women are in charge, in a world without a name where in general women have the upper hand, there is a family. Tralane Huntingore is the mother, renowned as a scientist she is the heiress of an ancient but defunct and broke line of mages, she has two daughters, both different from each other and both with paths of their own.

There's a war and the strange and alien Karoo are involved and things are going badly. The three women of this family are going to be pivots in the future of the world.

I still don't know what to think about this, strange and beautiful but not me.
