Deckensons hair being long and pale and flouncy and his stature being described as fine boned??? Only recognizable as male because of the pronouns his secretary used to describe him??? Is this a prototype for Beloved?

This feels like the Robin Hobb I know and love shook hands with Ray Bradbury and that handshake produced this. And I love that. I am also reading like four pages a day rn cus it is World Cup time and may just put it down until the end of July so I can give it what it deserves.

Okay, Robin!! Hearing her narrative style in a hard scifi and not a high fantasy was jarring at first ngl. But I love this. (Yes, I know it is Megan. But my brain won’t give up Robin. Sorry)

Obsessed with this unseen alien who talks shit about the human captain to the only other human on board via the intercom. Very fun. Tug is my favorite so far.

Realizing at 6:30 am on a Sunday morning that two of the main characters in the book you’ve been waiting for have the same names as your exes? Dope lol
