Are you actually on threads? For a sec I thought you were a Threads user.
Kind of reminds me of a penguin.

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susan Cooper
I've heard of this before, but ended up not going for it at the time. I'll add it to the list, thanks :D
Thanks for the recs!
Thanks for the recs :D
Solarpunk is a more or less utopian setting, so creating a compelling conflict is likely quite challenging.
Well, maybe in the traditional sense. I think there's value in art for beauty - simply describing a beautiful, idyllic world might be enough for a good novella - but conflict is the nexus of narrative, of a compelling one, at least. The first book, for example - A Psalm for the Wild-Built - centers the internal conflict of the MC. The second book (which I've now finished) feels more like a journey in a physical sense - walking around; there are different philosophies explored, but it doesn't feel nearly as meaningful; also, at the end, a big question is asked, so it kinda feels like the whole book was a build-up - read: justification - for the last couple of pages wherein the conflict is both confronted and resolved, meaning, it's practically absent for 95% of readtime.

Added to the list! :D
Thanks for the rec. Just read the synopsis; it sounds like something I should read, frankly.
It's officially moved up to the top of the list.
absolute yum!!
