rereading this fire book. the format is different, but the story is still very compelling and the format makes it even more so

I’m listening to the audiobook while reading the physical copy because audiobook is a multi narrator production. Holy fuck. Spoilers first off. But holy fuck. The narration of the list of 4000+ casualties of the Copernicus hits different with the audio narration. The overlapping narrators reason out named while I flipped through the names and then the pictures of people. Fucking haunting. Devastating.

I’ve only got 2 books to read to meet my goal and a plethora of small novels I could read in a day. Which means it’s time to do something else instead of easily completing my goals. I first read this series in high school and fucking loved it. The mixed medium epistolary is genius. I was in love with the nonbinary evil AI. It’s both funny and horrific. I hope it’s just as good as I remember and so far it is
