so she's not like other rich people huh? in the current political climate i find i have no patience for quirky billionaire inventors

So bored

this pacing is soo wack

meant to finish this on my holiday but had no time or bandwidth. so far the only horror in this book is religious bigotry. i enjoyed the atmosphere of Mandelo's wolf book a lot more

Well shit

Why is the fucking clanker more interesting than any of the humans??

WHY IS EVERYONE ALWAYS GRUNTING

At this point i'm just reading this out of spite. Its literally so bad like what is the point of all this. Just a bunch of action sequences and marvel-esque quips. I keep thinking how well this could have been if it was a Murderbot book...

Omg what is that?! A moustache twirling villain? AND he's british! How original

The fighting scenes bore me. I just want there to be some plot

Not enjoying this very much

The main character is too much of an idiot and there is too much exposition

I'm doing the r/Fantasy bingo this year in case anyone wants to join to read together/discuss together. (they have a really cool interactive spreadsheet btw)

"Everyone knew who the first women would be."
🤔

so far i only really liked -And the Moon Be Still As Bright

For someone so "woke" bradbury was a sexist sexist man, I get the concept of the stories, but I need a break from his voice by reading something else before going back to this

them being able to smoke a ciggy on Mars and not have to worry about the atmosphere is really taking me out

The astronauts quoting the Byron poem in this context is a Choice. But jokes aside it is so interesting how the poem takes on a much more darker and depressing tone in context to this book

They're losing it

The first story would be interesting if it wasnt for the misogyny

They should've let Naja have a gun.
That final scene was everything, i will take all the crumbs i can get 🧎‍♀️

You expect me to be normal about murderbot recognizing ART's "heartbeat" ???

didnt know how much i catharsis i would get from murderbot beating up a bunch of assholes

:(

murderbot i am so sorry for not immediatelly reading this the day it came out

hmm so its more of a buildup to priory kind of book than a standalone. it doesnt have that much impact. lots of just waiting for stuff to happen

Melaugo's chapters arent as fun as Marosa's

i wish i hadn't forgotten so many details from Priory, this would be more enjoyable i bet

happy lesbian visibility week! seems every 4 years Samantha Shannon releases a sapphic book and i read it during lesbian awareness week
