Editorial Reviews

Review

''Sometimes your own justice is the only kind you can get. Jewel lives in a future of luxury, spectacle, and wealth, but the rot doesn’t even bother to try to hide itself. Reveling in the disparity is the point, for the elite who come to the House of Bicchieri for the pleasure of doing anything they want. What follows after a client does just that is Jewel’s story to tell in the admiration-soaked narration of The Great Gatsby, if Gatsby rose from her coffin in her most elegant gown and avenged herself. And What Can We Offer You Tonight questions the notion that we must be better victims than the villains who don’t care how they hurt us―and then shows us how it feels when justice rings true.'' ― C.L. Polk, author of The Midnight Bargain

''And What Can We Offer You Tonight is an alluring fever dream where magic, science and death all blur together. Mohamed’s prose begs you to lean in close to its whispered song before seizing you by the throat without remorse, and the only choice that is left is to surrender yourself to it once and for all.''

--Jordan Shiveley, author of Dread Singles

''And What Can We Offer You Tonight is a deep dive into sacred revenge, a vivid, devastating and exquisite story of love and loyalty, among three friends who cannot ill afford such luxuries. Premee Mohamed offers a meticulously balanced cocktail of heartbreak, compromise and consequence, a mixture whose flavour that will seep into your marrow and print itself into your blood forever.'' --L.X. Beckett, author of Gamechanger and Dealbreaker

''Mohamed weaves a most beautiful and powerful spell with a thin crust of gorgeous prose and coy smiles barely hiding the powerful, growing rage beneath. Much like the dead, it's a tale that keeps haunting long after the story ends.'' --Leigh Harlen, author of Queens of Noise

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Refreshing
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023

This novella was great. It was so refreshing, think of it a quick palate cleanser between all the thrillers and romantic fantasy books I've been reading. I was pleasantly surprised. I bought it on a whim. Very easy to read and even though its short the world building was enough to comprehend what was happening. It's hard to put into words, just very different and I liked whimsical, like a dream.
I also liked the main character(which is saying a lot since I haven't found one pleasant in a while) and it was easy to understand her motivations.

Somehow “la traviata meets kill bill in 2124” ends up feeling like a fable. A quick and satisfying snack of a read.

This is a tricky book for me to review. The world feels new and unique to me. Since it is a novella, it is limited in scope. It is a dreary world. I think I would like to visit it again…

Well written. Interesting little story about a brothel where anything goes until it doesn’t any longer. The powers that be see the tables turned and the world gets a tiny bit better. Just the right length.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Speculative Novella - Amazing Upcoming Audiobook
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023
This novella packs quite a punch in a small package. In just 80 pages (and just under three hours on audio), Mohamed tells a story that is incredibly impactful. The novella is well-written, and the audiobook is incredibly well-narrated; I highly recommend you pick it up.

Because this novella is just 80 pages, to say too much would be giving away the heart of it. And What Can We Offer You Tonight is set in a murky, dystopian future. In many ways, Mohamed’s world is far too similar to the worst of our own. There are class divisions, indentured servitude, and a power echelon of people who control society. This dystopian setting is comfortable for readers of the speculative fiction genre – it isn’t wildly new. However, Mohamed uses characters others might overlook to tell her story. The story’s protagonist is a courtesan, and all the other characters are also involved in sex work in some way. Mohamed uses these forgotten and overlooked characters to investigate the meaning of humanity, personhood, and freedom. It’s fascinating and something I haven’t seen examined this thoroughly. And What Can We Offer You Tonight is about who we allow to have power, how they keep power, and what happens when someone threatens that power. Thanks to Bespoke Audio Editions for letting me review a copy of the upcoming audiobook.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lyrical, Haunting Story
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023
A book that leaves you with a sense of having visited a different world, a haunting memory, and a longing to return is certainly one in which I can say the author accomplished their goal of telling a damn good story. And this book by Premee Mohamad does that. With lyrical, flourishing prose it paints a picture, sometimes one as cloying as the perfumes I imagine which linger in the hall of the capital-h House. A woman who doesn't stay dead, and upon realizing the power she holds by being outside of the societal structures, it could be an allegory for the lives of those today who choose to operate outside of the bounds of our capitalist, patriarchal society. Especially since the world of this book, the world outside of the House, definitely could be considered our own should things be allowed to continue unchecked and the people disposed of, uncared for.

I'm not sure we cheer for any of the characters, but their journeys certainly are intriguing. Their motivations sometimes fully on display and other times elusive and chameleon-like. Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but it can also taste sweet, and sometimes as heady as a rich, whiskey.

If there's one complaint I have about this title, it's that the writing with it's reliance on over-long sentences combined with the flowery prose almost becomes too much at points. And to my editor's eye, it took a couple of chapters before I quit looking at just...how...long... the sentences were and became swept up in the story. This book won a Nebula award for best novella, and I can see why, if nothing else than for the fact that it had a very literary feel to it, more atmosphere and mood, and not so much a play-by-play of the action. Which, to be fair, in this story, I'm not sure a play-by-play would be warranted.

In the end, this is a book which kept me reading and drew me into its strange and twisty world that I'm still thinking about the morning after. So while I may still be having extensional thoughts about sentence length and grammar rules, I have to say, that if the story pulls in the reader and leaves a hunting memory, do the mechanics really matter that much? The story worked.
