![]() ![]() ![]() Sure enough, on Goodreads, Ghost Talkers has 1/5 of the ratings of The Calculating Stars and 1/3 of the ratings of Kowal's debut, Shades of Milk and Honey. He mentioned that he had a book come out during the week of the election, Extreme Makeover, and his friend, former SFWA President Mary Robinette Kowal had a book come out in August of that year, Ghost Talkers, both of which had gotten buried. That makes sense-it was a stressful time for everyone, and very few had the bandwidth left to follow the release of some more niche fantasy books that year. I was once talking to author Dan Wells, author of I Am Not A Serial Killer and co-host of Writing Excuses, who told me that many of the books that had come out in the latter half of 2016 in the weeks and months leading up to the presidential election at the time simply got buried and did not perform as well as they could have and should have. ![]()
