Welcome to Litsy!

Bk3 of March is the 2nd Prefect Dreyfus Emergency. I‘m loving this series, so much so I‘ve put the authors backlist on my wishlist.Dreyfus is now Senior Prefect after Aurora & the Clockmaker but still works in the field when people start dying after their neural implants melt their brains. A world of hyperpigs, abstraction, light hugger ships, augmented humans & quickmatter! #SeriesLove2024 #BacklistReadathon #Readaway2024 #BookspinBingo

Good but very complex

Aargh! My dog ate my book while I was out this morning! She hasn't eaten a book in a long time--I wish she hadn't picked one from the library!

Second in Reynolds Prefect series, set in an earlier period of the Revelation Space universe when the Glitter Band was still a shining symbol of human development. A series of deaths have occurred across the Band and the numbers of cases are increasing and investigations link them to the Voys on of the founding family of the Band. Not the greatest of detective stories, with a disappointing final quarter but a fascinatingly imagined setting.

I'm a huge fan of Reynold's Revelation Space universe, so I'm biased on this book right from the start. I like this recurring character set in an early time of this universe and hope to see some more novels in the future based on the Glitter Band. The only weak part to me was the ending. Still not quite sure what to make of it.

My vacation reading spot.

I loved the first 75% of this but the ending just seemed rushed and quite predictable. I felt it was building up to some great plot twists but they ended up feeling like something of a cop-out.

Picked up the new Alastair Reynolds book. Can't wait to get to it as it's set in the Revelation Space universe. It's a follow-up to The Prefect.
