The Four Sisters Overlooking the SeaThe Four Sisters Overlooking the Sea by Naomi Kritzer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Muahahahahaha

A beautiful story. So grounded, interesting, relatable.

And what a great twist!

It won the Hugo in '25 and I absolutely see why. It's not hugely fantastical or science fictional, but it IS wonderfully written, engaging, and alive. The fact that it has that little hint of mystery, a larger hint of satisfaction, and a great deal of things that just made me smile the entire time I read it was everything I needed.

Oh, also, this woman keeps writing really great short fiction. I've pretty much adored everything I've ever read by her, and this one would have been loved by me even without knowing a damn bit else.

It was so delicious. Seriously. A great story.



Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
