Status Updates From Le Moineau de Dieu

Some more things are slowly bein revealed. The amount of dread I feel reading this book is palpable.

This is fire

Shit is already getting so real, y'all. The more we come to know these characters, the harder it gets to continue. Already.

I don't think I'm actually ready for this.

okay this got more alien-y than I thought it was going to get. still v good but I was not anticipating all this

No other way to describe this than a beautiful tragedy so far. The way that tone carries through every page and chapter, no matter the actual content - even when the individual tonal goals of each chapter seem otherwise separate - is incredible to me. Can't wait to continue, yet I also really don't want to witness what I already anticipate is coming.

Quick read so far. Also super compelling. A lot of Sun Eater fan friends of mine adore this thing, and more of us are doing a readalong, so it was as good as any a time to hop on!

Feels topically like something sorta in-between Sun Eater and A Canticle Leibowitz, and it's awesome so far.
