Publisher's Summary
After the climate wars, a floating city was constructed in the Arctic Circle. Once a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering it is now rife with corruption and the population simmers with unrest.
Into this turmoil comes a strange new visitor - a woman accompanied by an orca and a chained polar bear. She disappears into the crowds looking for someone she lost 30 years ago, followed by whispers of a vanished people who could bond with animals. Her arrival draws together four people and sparks a chain of events that will change Blackfish City forever.
Disturbing, powerful and fearlessly imagines, Blackfish City is a mesmerising novel from a remarkable new voice in science-fiction.
Critic Reviews
"An incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge and the power (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible future. Blackfish City simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder." (Ann Leckie, Hugo, Nebula and Clarke Award-winning author)
"Miller is a fiercely strong writer and this book is a blast." (Daryl Gregory, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Spoonbenders)
"I haven't been this swept away by imagination and worldbuilding since Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials." (Carmen Maria Machado, National Book Award-nominated author of Her Body and Other Parties)

A slight disappointment
I sought out this book after discovering the author’s short story ‘Calved’ in the ‘The Year’s Best Science Fiction’ anthology. However, I felt that the story lacked the sensitivity I found so moving in the short story and hoped to experience again.
However, I welcomed the cast of LGBTQ characters and the incidental nature in which their sexualities and genders were written into the story.
This book was good romp and would appeal to fans who like the action and adventure side of sci-fi.
