"IMMERSIVE AND EPIC." Kameron Hurley "AN IMPRESSIVE DEBUT." Kate Elliot "ONE OF THE BEST SCI-FI BOOKS I'VE READ, PERIOD." Michael Mammay A dangerous cat-and-mouse quest for revenge. An empire that spans star systems, built on the bones of a genocide. A carefully hidden secret that could collapse worlds, hunted by three women with secrets of their own. All collide in this explosive space opera debut from a powerful new voice in sci-fi. On a dusty backwater planet, occasional thief Jun Ironway has gotten her hands on the score of a lifetime: a secret that could raze the Kindom, the ruling power of the galaxy. A star system away, preternaturally stoic Chono and brilliant hothead Esek the two most brutal clerics of the Kindomare tasked with hunting Jun down. And tracking all three across the stars is a ghost from their shared past known only as Six. But what Six wants is anyones guess. Its a game of manipulation and betrayal that could destroy them all. And they have no choice but to see it through.

#BookReport
Excellent reading week as I've managed to finish my commute book and my physical book. I enjoyed my time with both.

#WeeklyForecast
Goal this week is to make progress on OaFK and hopefully finish Counterfeit as I have to lead the discussion for it at work.

This was kind of a wild ride and I really enjoyed it. It's a tiny bit confusing and a little slow to start but once i was in I was in. I think one of its strengths is that most of the characters aren't truly good or evil lots of shades of gray. In some ways it kind of reminds me of Mindy St. Claire on The Good Place.

Another gorgeous day off that is perfect for reading outdoors. I have to be really careful with the chapter dates in this one because I am terrible at remembering what the main narrative timeline is and when there is a flashback. Idk why I‘m so bad at remembering dates while reading but it is what it is.

Another beautiful day so more porch reading while the puppy sunbathes. I‘m not sure how I feel about a book with a character only known as a number though.

Doing some backyard reading while Rolo enjoys the sun in his favorite yard.
I‘ve only started this but it seems interesting so far.
