Mendhak is 30% done with Acceptance (Southern Reach, #3)
This is so incredibly dull. The writing is so slow, nothing happens, the things that happen are without reason.

Acceptance (Southern Reach, #3)

Mendhak is 75% done with The Poppy War (The Poppy War, #1)
3/4 through the book, and Rin is just getting worse. She has now become an eternal victim. Constantly angry and arguing, but never actually doing nothing, just righteous indignant outrage over everything, minor or major.

Protip: awkward manufactured moment in the dialog? Interrupt by having a loud sound pierce the calm or shatter the morning or somesuch. No need to think the conversation through!

Feels weak in many places especially characters. Suddenly nezha and her form the perfect fighting pair with a hand wave.
Altan is stoic and aloof suddenly he's chummy and talkative. No consistency.
Everyone is impossibly beautiful.

Mendhak is 75% done with Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern, #1)
75% through the book and still can't get over these stupid names which resemble the sounds made when clearing a clogged nose or high and mighty lords scoffing at peasants. The author had a clear choice to do something, anything else, but chose this anyway.

Mendhak is 20% done with Conclave
It's so funny watching all of these ceremonies and rituals, people pretending to be holy and humble. Everyone jostling in factions vying for power. The whole organisation gets called out too, it's full of corruption and hubris that exists solely out of a sense of its own self importance but they carry on with these things anyway.

Mendhak is on page 15 of 357 of The Night Land
Feels so long... The writing is fascinating. An archaic style but set far in the future and gives a wonderful sense of disorientation and timelessness

Mendhak is 50% done with Alien Clay
Absolutely packed with biology, anthropology, ecology and other sciences. It is not light reading but slow down, pay attention, quite rewarding and insightful.

Screwing money out of peasants is the foundation of civilisation.

So his wife's been murdered and he's on the run, or on the sail rather. This better not be one of those spiritual journeys without any explanation

Mendhak is 50% done with Strange Universe: The Weird and Wild Science of Everyday Life--on Earth and Beyond
Talks about how coincidences don't make science.

Spends an entire chapter talking about how intuitive imperial is due to a few almost coincidences.

So this top secret organisation which is intent on maintaining its secrecy, made a very public landing at a crowded high school and loudly shouted for a specific person to go with them. Ok. Makes sense.

Mendhak is 50% done with Nine O'Clock Bus To Brompton (The County Mounties, #1)
Rosemary packed up and left Don without a word because of some dumb assumption she made, that was it? That hospital scene made zero sense and added nothing to the story. What a waste.
