Turns out the seminal and critically acclaimed sociology book is really well written and fascinating. Despite being almost 40 years out is still relevant on an individual and societal level.

"Imagine having such delicious sycophancy on tap." That's just ChatGPT.

Non-stop action and character development all seamlessly woven together. And there isn't a single character I dislike. I am hooked.

Shaping up to be one of my favorite books of the year. A nice quote: "Once again at her work, which was murder, and her hobby, too. Also murder."

If this book continues like this, it's going to be an easy 5 stars. "You bargain with one demon and then you never hear the end of it!"

Officially reached the point in the book where we invent bikes and picnics. Civilization is getting big upgrades.

R.F. Kuang is a good writer!

(Magical) grad school is scary is what I'm learning.

The authors are really hitting their stride. The old characters have developed, rich, and full. The new characters don't feel like they were given any less love and attention. There isn't a single character I don't love in their own way, or love to hate. The growing cosmic horror is awesome and still the sort of book that leaves round tables and policy briefings feel as tense as the combat. GOOD STUFF
