As in Brian Herbert’s first Schools of Dune book, we jump around between stories for different characters - Manford Torondo, Valya Harkonnen and Vorian Atreides - so it’s sometimes confusing if these all occurred at the same time or not.

Didn’t realise when I bought it but very American/Canadian in its outlook and process guidance.
Will keep on with it and try and salvage some useful nuggets of information

Slow burner this - keep coming back to it between other reads

The whole concept of the book is quite ludicrous - a bit Everything Everywhere All At Once style - but it is very engaging.

Based on 4 stories occurring around the same Tokyo cafe, we get some insight into questions we might have about time travel and what is and what isn’t permissible.

Shaping up quite nicely but it does lurch about a bit. Crossbow - novel weapon in this day and age! Also interesting as its not set in London

Just started this yesterday evening

Positioned, I suppose, post-Agile and DevOps CI/CD as well as Disciplined Agile Delivery sets out how to deliver the right product, to the right user at the right moment by avoiding the “technological jerk”. Quite interesting at the moment, let’s see how it goes .

These first few chapters see Zoe Boehm in reflective mood, and very little action so far. Micky Herron’s observational style that he later used on the Slough House books can be seen to be developing and its very easy to read

Very turgid to get through. I may give up on it.

Racing through this one with thankfully less Roddy Ho than London Rules which was just on TV (Slow Horses season 5)
Can’t say too much about the story - spoiler alerts! - but enjoying it.

Had to start this before starting to watch the TV serialisation as the Slough House books do differ from the TV series

Taken another break from this to read a Bee Wilson cookbook - nice change of pace

Not sure I relate to or like any of the characters so took a break to read the Simon Scarrow book
