Tritcheon Hash isn’t actually my kind of book. I’m certain this is a case where what I think is cool and what the author, Sue Lange, thinks is cool, doesn’t match up. We have different tastes in humor or I don’t actually know the right cultural references to get some of the humor. There is a well-executed and subtle pun I particularly enjoyed. Be careful–it is liable to sneak past you!

The writing is good, the plot is present and the story stays with the plot with very few detours. The main character, Tritcheon Hash, is very well characterized. In fact, the story is more about her personal evolution as person than about her adventure. Lange does an excellent job of showing us Tritcheon’s motivations in the first part of the story. Then we share Tritcheon’s experiences and have no difficulty understanding how those experiences change Tritcheon’s world-view.

I think if you’re more inclined to Lange’s brand of weird science fiction and/or her style of humor, you may enjoy this book. If you’re more like me and lean toward “hard” science fiction, I don’t think this will be your cup of tea.
