I love Kameron Hurley. Mostly because she's weird, mostly because she's rough around the edges, mostly because she doesn't hold your hand and you wander around her stories lost until you can put enough pieces together to mostly understand what the everliving fuck is going on.
Also she tends to write irreverently, which I love.
Also, bug punk.

The first line of God's War:
Quote:Nyx sold her womb somewhere between Punjai and Faleen, on the edge of the desert.
Just a bit I like:
Quote:Nyx watched the woman’s hands – soft hands, hands that hadn’t seen much of the desert. The filters kept out the worst of the sun. This was a queen who would never have to be scraped for cancers.
“I guess I should say I’m sorry about your mother,†Nyx said. “Her dying.â€
When Queen Abyyad died, Nyx had gotten drunk and told Rhys to thank God for her dying. Rhys told her God didn’t work that way. It hadn’t put a damper on her spirits.
“I never liked the old bitch anyway,†the Queen said.
“Not many people did,†Nyx said.
“Nyx?†Rhys said quietly.
She waved him away.
