love liu but he falls into bouts of bad writing always when he stuffs as many unbelievable inventions as possible in at once so suspension of disbelief becomes impossible. this short chapter alone has like 3 instances of an engineer overhearing a ridiculous "unrelated" conversation, going "wait, what did you just say??... Eureka! I've got it!" [cut to next scene of RIDICULOUS creation] it's embarrassing

every other page i'm yelling NOOO or YESSS

ken liu the man that you are when you arent writing YA fiction about a cooking reality tv show

amazing how exciting and interesting this series is when its NOT attempting to be a cozy YA fantasy about a cooking reality show
