Amy is 90% done with Cetaganda (Vorkosigan Saga, #9)
DNF at ~95%, incredibly. Found this one really boring. Also was my first time trying the Vorkosigan audiobooks and found the narrator pretty flat, so that might have had something to do with it.

Amy is on page 60 of 192 of Electronic Eros: Bodies and Desire in the Postindustrial Age
DNF. Simply not that interesting in light of current discourse, and has a very cishet, neurotypical perspective. There was a lot more technoutopianism in 1996, a year when "AI" wasn't actually here and materially fucking shit up, and the technoeroticism of the time was mostly boring and small-minded and replicative of heteronormative sex.

Amy is 7% done with The Unbroken (Magic of the Lost, #1)
Attempted to read this book a second time because I wanted to love it, and once again found myself constantly putting it down. DNF 7%.

Amy
Amy is 10% done with Daily Lives in Nghsi-Altai
Reading this made me feel more connected to a lineage of anarcho-socialist movements, but I couldn't get into the outsider art poetry/prose mix and never felt excited to read it.

Daily Lives in Nghsi-Altai

Amy
Amy is 60% done with The West Passage
DNF. Has some very good weird bits, but is not cohering enough to keep me interested.

The West Passage

Amy
Amy is 79% done with The Grace of Sorcerers (Those Who Break Chains, #1)
DNF at 79%. This started off with compelling characters and prose but fell off towards the ⅔ mark. Also note one of the authors is Benjanun Sriduangkaew, who has infamously engaged in harmful behavior in SFF fandom.

Wrath Goddess Sing

Amy
Amy is 48% done with Sour Heart
DNF at 48%. There were some compelling characters in these stories, but I couldn't get into the writing style, which felt forced, like it dragged me along to make me feel something.

Sour Heart

Amy
Amy is 80% done with The Library of Broken Worlds
After reading 80% of this long book, my library hold expired and I don't think I'm motivated enough to restart. Lots of fantastical ideas in a post-Singularity, post-FTL universe, with not much grounding, and not enough payoff for me. Incidentally, absolutely not "a YA version of Library at Mount Char" (like someone was wondering on this website). DNF

The Archive Undying (The Downworld Sequence, #1)

Amy
Amy is 81% done with Rubicon
DNF at 81%. "Long time to stick with a book only to DNF." Well, this is a LONG book, so I'm cutting my losses here. This could have used more editing. It reads like a video game novelization, but in an uncompelling way where I found it hard to get invested in anyone.

Amy
Amy is 4% done with A World Between
DNF at 4%. I could not get into the prose, character, or how extremely on-the-nose everything was.

A World Between

Amy
Amy is 34% done with David Mogo Godhunter
DNF at 34%. Didn't like how the (unspeaking) female character jumped into save our male protagonist and then he was like "it's amazing that (other male character) enabled this!". The worldbuilding is neat but I'm finding myself bored.

Amy
Amy is 14% done with The Rage of Dragons (The Burning, #1)
DNF at 14%. Not enough characterization for me to care about all of this violence.

Amy
Amy is 29% done with How High We Go in the Dark
DNF at 29%. I wanted more complexity from "Through the Garden of Memory" (the titular story in all but name?). More generally, I found it hard to connect to all the feelings on display—especially the saccharine helplessness characterizing the narrators' love for various children.

How High We Go in the Dark

Amy
Amy is on page 7 of 382 of Red Rising (Red Rising Saga, #1)
I literally could not get past the first ten pages of this. "None of them will survive when I'm through with them!" Everything was just so... _anime_. Turned up to eleven. Worse in first person.

Amy
Amy is 32% done with A Master of Djinn (Dead Djinn Universe, #1)
DNF at 32%. Wanted to love this, but even though I liked the novella set in this world, this story and its pacing are not grabbing me.

Amy is 30% done with Shards of Earth (The Final Architecture, #1)
DNF at 30%. I'm not connecting with these characters, and there's a lot more book ahead...

DNF; this failed to grab me *at all.*
