Tired of self-appointed “chosen ones” narrating their great deeds to you in a never-ending slog of self importance? Sick of listening to nerdy scientists blather on about metaphysical concepts you barely understand? Or maybe you’re just done with the regular-degular “just like you” narrator, a “relatable person” who’s blander than wheat bread rinsed with hot water? Sounds like you need a little bit of narrative spice. Some POV pizazz. The inner monologue of a deeply unusual mind. When it comes to narrative oddballs, these novels have you covered. Here are 10 sci-fi and fantasy books with the strangest narrators.
The Raven Tower
(Orbit Books)The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie is a rock solid addition to this list, considering that its main narrator is a literal rock. Well, a god inside of a rock. The Strength and Patience of the Hill is a divinity housed within a large boulder – essentially Patrick Star if he was nigh-omniscient and ageless, but still lived in his Bikini Bottom rock abode. Being a rock, Strength and Patience has seen a lot, witnessing the history of the world in unfathomable stretches of geological time – millions, even billions of years. Ol’ S&P was ancient when humanity was still crawling out of their caves, and has been around to see mankind make deals with divinities and form kingdoms. Strength and Patience bears witness to one such deal gone wrong – one of mankind’s kingdoms has struck a protection bargain with a raven god, but that deal goes off the rails when the raven god’s chosen emissary abruptly disappears. Humanity is scrambling to track the deserter town, but Strength and Patience is unhurried – it has all the time in the world. Literally.
