The Obsidian Tower
2 étoiles
The Obsidian Tower is driven by Frantic Protagonist Syndrome - the heroine, Ryx, rushes from bad decision to worse decision, impelled by an entirely artificial sense of urgency. It's obviously the planned start of a series, so a whole lot (a whole lot) of questions are left open, and very little is resolved in the end - I would be kind of interested in some of the answers, but not enough to endure another installment.

Every Ray Nayler book is a philosophical conundrum wrapped in an ecological tragedy wrapped in a rad scifi story.

After the Revolution
4 étoiles
After the Revolution is kind of a mashup of The Last Girl Scout and Dogs of War, with a hint of Handmaid's Tale. Honestly, if you haven't read any of those, go read them first and then come back.
The premise is that the US has dissolved into a handful of warring nation states (what's happening in the rest of the world? who knows or cares), at least one of which is a christian fundamentalist oligarchy, and the story follows a handful of people in the conflict between that and the Republic of Texas.
It's an engaging read, if not always an easy one. I feel like some of the characters' progression arcs (Sasha) were inconsistent and handwavy. The House of Miriam situation felt almost naively mild in comparison to what would actually happen to those people in that situation, but on the other hand I don't want to read …
