Ngl this book is entertaining even tho some of the chapters are so pretentious, this is the fifth chapter where the new animal protagonist mentions they are a huge fan of a philosopher or author 💀💀

thanks mum for giving me this book so I can read in the perspective of the holocaust architect Herr Himmler's dog

The way there isn’t a single character who isn’t mourning someone, dead or alive

This is so the wrong time of the semester to finish this book

💔

Let’s goooooo (had to buy the book, no libraries had it lol)

Damn nothing like accidentally killing a planet through scientific discovery 😭

Clarke got so much passion and imagination for space travel and man hasn’t even landed on the moon?!

Why should men travel, he asked himself bitterly, across the gulf of stars at such expense and risk-merely to land on a spinning slag heap? For the same reason he knew, that they had once struggled to reach Everest and the Poles and the far places of Earth- for the excitement of the body that was adventure, and the more enduring excitement of the mind that was discovery.
-peak writing right here

He had been so certain of success when the pod had started its glide across the barren face of Icarus. And now this, all through a moment of physical weakness! But space made no allowance for human frailties or emotions, and a man who did not accept that fact had no right to be here.

Genuinely can’t tell if the first chapter was a mini autobiography or made up lol

I'm afraid, he thought. I've never believed in pure evil. There are no evil people, no one with brutality in their genes. There are evil circumstances and environments, not evil per se. But here I sense the actions of a truly darkened mind.

When one of the POVs is a cheater and now I have to struggle through 1/3 of the book being in her perspective 😃🤢

damn this AI controlled age of immortality is so boring I couldn't survive this 'utopia'

when pro-empire gang get's surprised that the powerful children 'looked after' by the state are gonna be used as weapons in war

… grooming children to be used in war, you like that Amalia???

My first library book in a long time.

The premise makes me hope it’s queer but I can already smell a straight ship on the horizon lol

Gotta stop myself from looking at the next page before I get to it 😬

ahhhhh I’m on the last one 😭
