"It's fun, a decent disaster story, though pretty much fully outdated in pre-Apollo tech and morals. One of the first points of action was to ask the present woman to help make lunch.
A lot of time is spent on evaluating the progress of humanity and that of the male POV characters. As a result, the word 'man' often is splattered about a dozen times on the pocked sized pages which gets quite tiresome." — Aug 27, 2026 10:15PM

"That action sequence was simply bad. I often use the term Marvel-esque for these kind of things where quippy, shallow dialogue is thrown around and meaningless, showy action moves are displayed. Roux has written a lot of Marvel, so I guess that checks out.
But this was simply written badly as well. No sense of location, scale, momentum, or even real danger. This reading experience is a real whiplash of quality." — 6 hours, 28 min ago

"It's alright. Flashes of really good atmospheric storytelling, but mostly kind of shallow plotting and characterization. Altman is a non-personality dude-guy. There have been 2 named female characters appearances so far. One did not reappear after her one page, the other is the MC's love interest. With Evenson's credentials, it is like he either deliberately dumbing down his writing, or not putting in the effort." — Jun 01, 2026 10:33PM

“A pair of minstrels stood beneath them on a ramshackle stage, puffing air into homemade woodwinds. There had been four of them once, but the war had taken two, including the singer. The two remaining had not learned enough about music to compensate the losses, and so they merely played the same parts they had always had, harmonies without melody, and the music wandered anxiously through the air like a lost child.”

“Well, then, dueling with me should be fun, because I like to use a little bit of everything. You can critique my form. That should be a nice change for you." Vernestra winked as she said it, and Reath found himself flushing.”

“Either way, I'd brought a pair of hands and enough general surgical experience to be useful. If you'd ever had be a saint to heal someone, medicine would have been doomed from the start.”

“Poor kid. All of them, really. And the years stretch ahead, a march beneath a sun that never goes down.”

“During the months of winter and spring King Casmir looked only twice at the infant princess, in each case, standing back in cool disinterest. She had thwarted his royal will by coming female into the world. He could not immediately punish her for the act, no more could he extend the full beneficence of his favor.
Sollace grew sulky because Casmir was displeased and, with a set petulant flourishes, banished the child from her sight.
Ehirme, a raw-boned peasant girl, and nice to under-gardener, had lost her own infant son to the yellow bloat. With an amplitude of both milk and solitude she be came Suldron's wet-nurse”
