This sequel trilogy really isn't for me.. more than a third in and it feels like nothing happened apart from filler action scenes to add a clue to the greater mystery and avoid making everything exposition like vendell's ppt presentation... the prologue was good though and wayne still carries his scenes but otherwise.. yeah. Women characters feel weakly written as well.. still know barely a thing about steris' past.

The focus on Steris makes me wonder if she will be the bearer of the bands of mourning at some point and tbh I hope so

Another audiobook attempt but optimistic again bc it is read by the author. The big emphasis on specificity in the writing is 'fun' to listen to despite the heaviness of the subject matter.

Yeah one of his strengths is definitely climaxes with specifically chases and swapping povs to keep pace and high stakes/tension etc

"The gunman also wore mustaches waxed straight horizontal to a perfect point. The women on both sides of him stood back not only because he had brandished a gun, but also because they feared losing eyes to the sharp and glistening facial hair." Lmao

Ironically, the wax/steris interaction with steris saying she prepped witty lines to amuse wax with and wax saying it is the most genuine he has seen her despite it being prepped, is the most amusing part of this book after a long time of just chugging along. Before, only the intro scene with wax, lessie and kid wayne and wayne disguising himself as a slums resident stood out.

Being this good at both internal monologuing/thinking and dialogue should be illegal.... it feels like fanservice the whole time like only a good cast of characters and worldbuilding could make you feel.. love this book already

Them dedicating storage to archived recordings of the book 1 crew, even "trivial" ones like "Ratthi walking when he was tired after a long day", "laughing and pretending to defend himself as Pin-Lee threw a cushion at him", instead of replacing it with media is sooooooo.... especially after he has been shown to delete arguably essential technical knowledge for media because he couldn't bring himself to care.

Murderbot's comments on Abene/Miki's interactions are hilarious/so entertaining and still add to the worldbuilding of what a SecUnit can and can't do physically.

"Do you want to know why [...] doesn't stick around?" [...] "Because you see him," Miles says. "And he can't stand it. And Peter's [...] so bored with himself he convinced himself that [...] would turn him into someone else, without, like, having to be brave enough to try acid."

"Maybe you didn't notice," I say, "but that 'dick' is essentially universally loved."
"By strangers," Miles says. "By people who don't know him or need anything from him. Excuse me if I don't find that impressive."
"Well, you wouldn't." [Cue self-esteem resolution lines.]

Ok so while it was Zeus not Apollo, I still personally appreciate the author having Apollo be the one to r*pe Persephone, BECAUSE he's always been so creepy and awful in the stories with this subject. The story of the nymph Daphne has never left my mind after reading it when I was younger.

Her anxiety is emotional and not logical and totally valid for that and all..... but she just decided to be gentler in her thoughts about him.. and she learned he had been MARRIED and didn't WANT to accept the divorce.. so a little annoyed with January here going right back to her original thoughts but again... irrational emotional anxiety i spose

While "everything " does cover it, wanted to add curiosity, inquisitiveness, a willingness and space for understanding and the creativity and goodness to help the world be a better place through the bits of new knowledge.. the magic of that that everyone can wield if they have those character traits

Another rly good book abt a witch in a world that has had most of the old ways stamped out by a new dominant belief some of whose ppl seek to destroy whatever is remaining of it out of ignorance and zealotry and arrogance. It is like Uprooted in this way and other witchy Bildungsromans like Juniper.. i want to put into words why i love these so since i am not for rl wicca at all. Prob the feminism, empathy, everythin
