Even in a land of total equity (or intended and embedded) there is still the abandoned and the outsider
Feels like a choice between unjust over possession engaged in dominance struggles or entirely bereft of bond and self? Or perhaps de-emphasized to the point of wound

“The man I have to work with is competitive, a dominance-seeker, a profiteer, but I can’t change that; if I want to work I have to work with him”
Yikes. Such a perfect description.
Running into ppl like this in work or social groups makes everything miserable, and they’re often manipulative and cloud the truth (to put it nicely). Glad to be free at the moment

The traveler, lost between 2 worlds, trying to understand but ever un-understood and alone

And they’re still looking for a unified field theory 😂

Really interesting
Wishing I knew more about oligosaccharides among other things
A bit bugged by her discussion of the purposes here, as the 1st need of any organism is nutrition -> hydration plus. Yes disease protection is important, but can only come after an organism has sufficient nutrition for basic function and, with infants, the intense growth +development they undergo early on

Hope and despair back and forth
Now we are two once again with abusive narcissist male left behind in the Arctic waters, choosing neither man nor bear (big man became polar bear hallucination as he finally tried to push them to his will past the little disrespects and changes and thefts of food and water despite their short stocks) in the visions of trauma and survival

Just thinking this one is almost like the opposite of found family. It’s family that you’ve grown apart from, that you’re so different from to the point of having trouble understanding their motivations beyond rolling your eyes at them, and then needing to travel half the world with them
Skipper def reads as ND, probly on the spectrum
Not sure about the other 2 sisters

This still seems very… dreary
Though a whole society centered around the idea of mutual aid
And still…some left without a sense of belonging even as they share comradery and company and conversation

Wahey
Glad for that list and description of each of the representative species/Eves
Just thinking a timeline graphic might have been useful, but the descriptions are really helpful

Read yesterday. Took me a bit to get into it but I think now I’m going, and I do like her style. Bonus/as it should be: FOOTNOTES not end notes! And they’re informative footnotes that add to the main text.
Meant to keep going yesterday at least to the end of the intro, but had to head outside for a bit and then got into other things

This is very different from The Stardust Grail.
I think I wasn’t prepared for the grim feeling of it, tho it’s semi-post-apocalyptic + enviro disaster. Had to set it down for a few days but now picking up agn - abt to begin a journey
lol tangent - just reminding myself of the MC’s name + see Skipper + think of Barbie’s younger sister, + she is in fact the youngest of 3 sisters,1 scientist, 1 engineer I think

Finally got this one back - came through in both library loans within a day of each other 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂
Pulled straight back into the narrative
So many traditional walls in the way - interesting to see Abitha working through them
Sarah is a surprising character in the best of ways. Both strong and deep, tho also unsure and not an unquestioning ally

Yikes this is triggering
I can see where this is going and noting on the side that this kid is ND, whether spectrum or high intelligence
The toddler that pushes him gets no reprimand while he is punished for reacting, tho both are age appropriate
Has entrancing ideas beyond his level -advanced sci - + not only is ignored + laughed at by the other kids, but bullied by the teacher for “lying” + for being himself

Wow did that 1st chapter feel overwhelming
She will always amaze me with the speed with which she draws the reader in to the reality and the depth of the character
And with mere passing bits of perspective she introduces you to the life of one born into what seems a benevolent anarchy

255: Aram smiled. “The tattoo that I would like to have is a gorgeous fig tree. But, unlike other trees, this one is upside down. My fig tree has all its roots up in the air. Instead of the earth, it is rooted in the sky. It is displaced but not placeless.”
Auntie Zeliha: “The fig tree is an ominous sign. It does not bring good luck.”

Armanoush’s online friend BB seems esply controlling + judgmental amid a group similarly so
That scene in the cafe tho, Asya in the mood for confrontation + argument, attacks the gf, someone who’s alone among a group of his friends, + intentionally makes her feel like sh*t abt sth that cld have been an interesting convo + then tows Armanoush into the middle of it + turns it into a fight over gen cide

Terrible narrator
I knew it was coming but Canth and F’nor’s flight to the Red Star still destroys me. It’s been so many years since I’ve read the dragon books and they felt so different, but that part 🤦‍♀️. The fire lizards stirred in terror; Ramoth and Mnementh alone on the heights and then the whole Weyr taking flight at once trying to save a falling dragon

And another wow btw, bc tragic histories and family complications and so on but ultimately it’s been ordinary ordinary ordinary and suddenly MAGIC, and we see Auntie Banu talking with her 2 djinni that were mentioned in passing to be each on one of her shoulders but seemed…a silliness connected to her fortune telling. Here they’re real, and 1 rather scary tho the fear is abt terrible knowledge

191-2: Wow on the historical info flood + I feel ignorant - didn’t know the visigoths were in Spain but of course as Roman allies to deal w/other Germanic tribes that had come thru but then were around downfall of Roman Empire
Describing the power and longevity of one of Auntie Banu’s djinni familiars, Mr. Bitter, a galyabani djinn (very old, powerful, knowledgeable about + around for battles + terrible events)
