Curio Citizen brings us to an immersive alien world. Katherine Forrister dives us into Paz and all its cultural elements. If you are looking for a book that takes place on an alien planet where we get to learn a lot about the culture, the customs, the art, and the nature of the planet itself this is for you! There are so many delightful details about Paz and its peoples.

There are some high points with lots of action and then some slow points where we are just learning about the world Carmen has been whisked off too, so that is why I only gave it four stars. The only downside is it is almost too immersive and light on the action.

It's fascinating to consider a human having to prove to a more advanced species that we are in fact a sentient intelligent species. I want to share more but I'm keeping this spoiler free. I can't wait for more folks to read this and get some discussion going on the culture of Paz.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced reader copy. All opinions are my own.

Curio Citizen by Katherine Forrister is such a good read! Omg what a good time I had reading it!!! I totally recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it had that element that I wanted and enjoyed getting into this scifi element. I enjoyed that it was the main character and their dog, it had stakes and was hooked from the first page. Katherine Forrister has a great writing style and was able to create interesting characters and worlds. I enjoyed the overall feel of this and glad I got to read this.
