Someone please rec me a YA dystopian novel whose worldbuilding and romance elements won't make me scream. Need to break my run of bad luck!
@KateElliottSFF I get that it's often a case of YMMV. But still, I keep feeling let down by cool premises that take a back seat & don't work

@fozmeadows I can't deal with worlds that don't make sense whether dystopias, fantasies, sf, or whatever. 1/2Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@fozmeadows 2/2 although I admit that "make sense" in a fantasy context may be pushing it a little.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@fozmeadows Although maybe not. I need to know how people function through daily life. Not in detail, but that I believe it is going on. -
@KateElliottSFF Exactly that. And too often I just can't see how things function for people not the protagonists.

@fozmeadows I really dislike stories where the writer sees daily life as so trivial that it can be ignored, like it doesn't matter comparedThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@fozmeadows to the important intellectual content of the tale. Fuck that. I don't believe those stories. -
@KateElliottSFF It bugs me more when it's an omission by accident, like they've just not thought it through. Those stories feel washed out -
