I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.
I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).
Just started “The City We Became” by N.K. Jemisen. It took a minute for me to get my bearings, but I’m really digging the concept
N.K. Jemisen is one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy writers. If you like her style and world building I’d highly recommend the Broken Earth trilogy.
It took me quite some time to get past the rocky (hah) start, the absolute lack of all but the barest exposition, but once I did…wow.
And I recognize the talent and skill it takes to make that work. Very risky to do, but it damn sure paid off.
Seems to be the general flow of her writing style. Broken Earth certainly doesn’t hold your hand, either, but if you stick it out through the directionless lost feeling at the start, suddenly you’re hooked.
