Majesty, Wonder, And the Sci-fi/Fantasy Fiction of CS Friedman

CS Friedman is the queen of Westworld-like twists peppered throughout each story that build toward a “WAIT WTF!!!” conclusion. She doesn’t always stick the landing, but her mastery of storytelling is as clear as her most understated yet powerful payoffs.

Her premises take common concepts or story tropes and reinvent them with OMG sci-fi foundations and world building that make these things believable and credible if just one tiny thing were added to what we know.

Her novels won acclaim with readers as well as critics. The books hit best-seller lists. They won awards. They expanded a culture of fantasy fiction whose magic depends as much on rules as miracles. They demonstrated how often good fantasy is just good science fiction.

CS Friedman’s books did what so few books ever do — they endured.

What’s more, her career seemed positioned to do what so few others do in publishing — CS Friedman seemed positioned to thrive…

PS. I’m not sure how long this will take. We’re disabled with DID and CPTSD, so we just make these when we have free time and the resources to keep going.
