Semiosis follows a group of colonists landing on a new planet after fleeing a dying Earth ravaged by wars and environmental catastrophe. Unfortunately, I gelled with neither the prose nor the characters and failed to establish an emotional investment in the novel’s events. It just didn’t manage to hold my interest despite its short length and frankly interesting subject and themes.
I read Semiosis over the course of many months and even had to restart at one point because I’d put it down for too long. Sue Burke’s debut novel Semiosis takes a truly intriguing and fascinating concept but turns it into an uneven experience that filled me with ambivalence.
