God that Egypt section was long as hell

God that Egypt section was long as hell

I am stresssssseddd 😵

This book is so slow😭, but it's culturally, linguistically, and biologically rich so I guess it's worth it

Love these type of non fic books that are both accessible and not patronising ⭐ Also this is is the type of book where the learning sneaks up on you

Fun! Computer sciencey fun

The Becky Chambers is my favourite one so far ⭐ So much heart

So far the first story is the stand out. Reynolds and Yoon are advertising their respective series. Martine is not for me confirmed; also why 2nd person? T. Kingfisher is up next and I'm in the middle of another Kingfisher 🌚

"Six tenths of a centimeter" ???? what's the point in using SI units if you're not going to be precise "... went up to the cockpit and took one another for the second time."

HELP 😭

"A Black"??? "A Japanese..." ??? Who wrote ts
At this point I'm just trying to get through for the mystery which still has me gripped.

I love how quickly the mystery was introduced, just immediately intriguing. The attempt at adding life and depth to the characters is appreciated especially for a sci fi, but let's be real I'm here for the alien artefacts and that's a 10/10. I'm hooked

It's like A Short Sharp Shock by KSR ❤️ delightfully surreal and mysterious and I have no idea where the story is going

Oh no please don't tell me I'm going to have to follow Fassin through this whole story. Give me a time jump or a death or something please.

So far I love the scale and scope, the characters not in Fassin's orbit are compelling, the universe and its other inhabitants too.
I've missed reading a big expansive science fiction
