  • Daytime reading: Witch King by Martha Wells

    • Fantasy -- My mental jury is still out on this one. Characters are likeable, but the world is still quite murky which makes certain motivations and behaviors hard to parse.

    Nighttime reading: The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu by Tom Lin

    • ??? -- Haven't gotten far enough in it to even know. It's a period piece in mid 19th century. Maybe magical realism?
    • by Martha Wells

      I like her Murderbot books enough that I would probably give anything she writes a chance!

      • That's basically why I picked this one up. Her characterizations are great honestly. And the world is unfurling, but the longer certain topics are kept murky (who ARE these antagonists??), the more I think the payoff had better be good.
