My review of Local Heavens by K.M Fajardo
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An excellent cyberpunk retelling which is more poignant and almost realistic to the modern reader than that of the robber barons and oil kings of the 1920s.
Fajardo delves deeper into the queer elements of the story, which benefits the characters and the novel itself.
We see more of Jordan Baker and her experiences as a now mega sport star. We see a bit more of Daisy, and perhaps a bit more of Jay Gatsby himself. This is an extremely thought provoking and excellent retelling
