| Welcome to the Celestial Cataclysms universe, which really is just an extension of my A Thousand Li series. Those of you coming from A Thousand Li might realize there's less discussion about power progression, even if there is some aspects of it. Par ...more | |

| Fun, riveting portal fantasy that does everything right. This is the second - third?- book that takes a heroine and puts them in a book series that they've read, which gives an interesting time loop-like quality to the work, while also making it clea ...more | |

| Biopunk, near Victorian age murder mystery. Intriguing world building, flawed protagonists and a muder mystery that picks up pace as eldritch monsters loom in the distance. The Tainted Cup is a marvelous book and I can't wait for the next book. ...more | |

I blew through the first two books in less than a week and got annoyed there was not a third. An incrediblly well-written, poignant and meaningful superhero origin story, with a character that is flawed and changing. The fights are fast paced and fun ...more |

| Not sure how to edit this so it's not just audiobook since I read this, not listened. Anyway, great work. Touching, heartfelt, with touches of reality all wrapped in a familiar trope. Lily Chu's a great writer, and I'm looking forward to reading more ...more | |

“Miles had sworn his officer's oath to the Emperor less than two weeks ago, puffed with pride at his achievement. In his secret mind he had imagined himself keeping that oath through blazing battle, enemy torture, what-have-you, even while sharing cynical cracks afterwards with Ivan about archaic dress swords and the sort of people who insisted on wearing them.
But in the dark of subtler temptations, those that hurt without heroism for consolation, he foresaw, the Emperor would no longer be the symbol of Barrayar in his heart.
Peace to you, small lady, he thought to Raina. You've won a twisted poor modern knight, to wear your favor on his sleeve. But it's a twisted poor world we were both born into, that rejects us without mercy and ejects us without consultation. At least I won't just tilt at windmills for you. I'll send in sappers to mine the twirling suckers, and blast them into the sky....
He knew who he served now. And why he could not quit. And why he must not fail.”
― The Mountains of Mourning
