Ebook.

Audiobook. Not a fan, I’m unlikely to continue. The narrative is dense, idiosyncratic and difficult to follow. It focuses on categorizing historical references of madness with quotes from historical texts while never offering anything in the way of a cohesive narrative. Sometimes interesting, often difficult, never approachable.

Audiobook. Interesting from a historical perspective, an argument for revolution that runs a bit stilted, but this was a feature not a bug in this circumstance.

Audiobook. 65% Just wrapped chapter 9. This is the kind of clever, boundary-pushing writing that I find very tedious.

Thats a bit long to wait for the interesting stuff, I feel like the author is playing with fire a bit to wait that long to positively engage with the premise. i.e. there ain’t no haunting stuff til halfway thru.

Audiobook. 60% in. I’m digging it and not digging it at the same time. I find the inadequacies of the protagonist pretty annoying, which is kinda good because it means I care about them and the story, and kinda bad because the decisions seem like poorly veiled plot devices.

The is well done but coasts along until about halfway thru when it finally starts engaging with the premise of the title.

Kindle. No exit was great i give that one four stars. Osteres is a slog and i have very little interest, so i dropped it and moved on to Dirty Hands. If this one fails to capture my attention i’ll likely drop it.

got 26% in someone is waiting for the audiobook at the library and i have plenty to read, i’ll pick this up from the start of the series and give it another go

Audiobook. So far not bad, I did not realize it was a sequel which likely accounts for some of my questions about how this book is proceeding. Good writing, not too tropey, haven’t really connected with the characters but again sequel… I’m going to keep at it and see where things go, but i might dump this for murderbot 2 since i’ve actually read book 1 of that series.

Kindle. Writing is great if a bit dated. Writer is doing some clever things with the prose that are starting to get really annoying and hard to follow.”

Book. About 25% of the way through when loan ran out. Will borrow again and keep at it. Pretty good.

So far, a really cool story. A bit fairy-tale-esque but I'm a fan of that style of fantasy writing.
