Maieman: Paradox by D.L. HannahMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
D.L. Hannah is back with the start of a fourth series in her universe of interplanetary royal drama, now focusing on a new young king, Jonah, rising up to rule the world of Maieman. This new world is probably the closest we’ll be able to get to old Coldarius at this point in the timeline, particularly with its blue-forward aesthetic - especially the blue lemons and other fruit of a different color. (Giving me flashbacks to my own eighth grade short story writing assignment where a guy’s plane crashed and he had to survive in a grove full of experimental fruits, like ultra sweet blue strawberries and flammable bitter purple lemons…) As with Hannah’s previous books, this one is pretty heavy on the extended flashbacks, resulting in a short but slow burning story with lots of mind-screwy moments, because even a king can’t trust his own senses sometimes. Soon I’ll be preordering the next book, Revelations, to complete the collection up to now…
