Looking forward to the big reveal, something to explain this mess.

I believe the storyline is lost. It's going round in circles. I know that I've read parts of this before. Feels like padding.

All of this bleak interstellar colonization "nothing ever goes as planned" stuff (in this and other series), while realistic, is making me feel nostalgic for grand galactic empire stories.

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that when you start a new book on the Kindle that it automatically puts it on your Currently Reading shelf?

So close now...

Well, that's a twist I wasn't expecting.

Despite the loops, or perhaps because of them, I am ever more curious about where this story is heading and what's behind it all.

Phew. I need a break from this.

Endless combat. One battle after another.

Buried beneath all of the fight scenes, there's an actual story!

My son bought me this book. He's a Warhammer 40k fan; I've only played the Fire Warrior video game on PS2.

While I've heard good things about the first book in the Horus Heresy series, I have no desire to tackle a series that's 65 books long.

After reading the book blurb, I am not confident that I will enjoy this, but I will give it a try. The things we do for family. ;-)

Where are we going here?

Genitalia Festival?

Did not expect to see that in this tea-soaked, straitlaced empire.

I know that my GR friends issued warnings in their review of this one (The tea! So much tea!), but it's been sitting on my nightstand for so very long now that I had to at least make an attempt.

And yes, tea is mentioned on the very first page.

Well, that one ended darkly.

Not having access to PMs on GR really, really sucks.

I'm thinking that each of us needs to start their own Group and invite our GR peeps to that group so that we can communicate with one another. Leaving non-review comments on their book reviews doesn't seem to work and might be too public for private matters.

Of course, the extra server load might lead to Amazon pulling the plug on groups too.

Nothing like Scalzi to help get you over reading a bad book.
