I’m loving this series, and discovered a new fantasy author. Two good things!

I loved it! I’m really liking Corey’s new series. It’s removed from the Sol system, and it reminds me of the great epics by Peter Hamilton and Alastair Reynolds.

Kinda done with this guilty pleasure. It’s getting mechanical

Whew.

Surprisingly easy to read for a book from 1600’s. I feel like I need a bible with a
Concordance to get all of the places and names. Very fascinating. I think this was released after the King James Bible , and after Shakespeare. I like it for its direct and simple prose. This and Dante I regard as some of the first works of modern fantasy.

This book revels in shocking the readers sensibilities. It’s a tough read for me. Walt Whitman and Emily Yellow Rose of Texas is slightly less in my face. The contrast between Victorian setting and verbiage and pornographic and racist characters was initially interesting, but is getting old.

I just finished Nemesis Games (The Expanse).
