The book A Scatter of Light written by Malinda Lo was a very wonderfully written novel and a great read. My reasons for choosing to read A Scatter of Light are I love the theme of the novel and Malinda Lo is one of my favorite authors so when I saw this book it was an automatic read for me. I rated A Scatter of Light a four out of five stars because the book was great from the start to the end of it. It's a coming of age story about discovering bisexuality. It takes place during the first major decision dealing with legalizing same sex marriage by the Supreme Court. During the story Aria Tang West is sent to her Grandmother's after a party gone wrong. She goes there exspecting not to have fun until she meets her Grandmother's gardener. Her Grandmother's gardener changes the outcome of her summer for the better. I hope others enjoy this great read too.

The X-Files was huge during the 90's.

Especially during the mid-90s, which is when this novel was released (1995) so even before, I believe, the X-Files movie (1997?) or the more recent 2000 attempt to reboot the franchise.

back here, we're still in the hey-day of the more famous Mulder and Scully than their later replacements, with this novel seeing the two agents off to investigate the murder of an ex-sergeant and (later) a corporal, with the perpetrator vanishing into thin air both times.

I remember I read this when it was first published but, truth be told, I'd forgotten pretty much everything about it until I cam across it again recently in 2024.

The fact that I had tells you pretty much everything you need to know: largely forgettable, I'm not so sure about the characterisations of Mulder or Scully, and that the plot itself could - maybe - do with a little bit more work.
