"It's now been 9 months since I read any of this. I feel like at the rate this is going, it's going to sit beside A Deepness in the Sky forever on my eternal "currently reading" list. Just have to ignore all the disappointing spoilers and buckle down and read it." — Oct 12, 2025 10:54AM

"Not really an update, but just noticed it's been over 8 years since I read any of this. Even now I can't think about it without feeling a deep visceral loathing for the Emergents... Lousy brain-washing Machiavellian megalomaniacal psychos. WHY COULDN'T IT JUST HAVE BEEN A BOOK ABOUT COOL DIESELPUNK SAPIENT SPIDERS ON A WORLD WITH CRAZY TIDAL VARIATION!?!" — Jun 21, 2025 12:32PM
