Welcome to Litsy!

A ship of imprisoned dissidents arrives on an extrasolar labor camp and research station known as Kiln, victims of the authoritarian Mandate regime and its insistence on adherence to orthodoxy. Arton is a biologist and finds the native ecology fascinating, even as he learns more about its effects on contaminated humans. A gripping and inventive account of resistance in the face of an authoritarian regime and the power of truth in the face of lies.

There is a lot to unpack here. Aside from being repetitive, this one and the previous book deal with themes of good vs evil, but they lean more towards trying to justify heinous actions because the characters we follow are “good“ and the enemy is “Bad“ As readers we know that there is a third party that manipulates things from the shadows. But certain good characters claiming it's okay to slaughter the enemies because they are evil is gross to me.

Last week was a slow reading week, but I made progress with the tagged book and finished The Aeneid. I still need to take notes on 5 of the books, but I am satisfied with having finished it. Next week I will be starting Witness because I really want to catch up to the series before the new book comes out.

📚CR:

🎧Rise of the King
🎧The Witness for the Dead

🎧Lud in the Mist
🎧Rise of the King

Progress: I had minimal reading done in the past two weeks due to siding replacements and the construction of an overhanging roof to this house. I'm afraid the following week will be the same 😭

Progress:
I finished all of my planned reading for December and my Goodreads challenge as a result. Got through a few hours of ROTK which was nice, rough week for Lud but I managed to get through a chapter on Friday. Monday is busy as always but I will pick it back up on Tuesday. I will focus on those for the rest of the year.

Progress:
Glad I got back to the Drizzt novels, maybe I can finally catch up by next year. Been making slow but steady progress with Lud in the Mist. I am really loving it. I might pick another short audiobook between those two, but we shall see.

I was finally in the mood to start these again. I think at this point I've made peace with the fact that I only really read these for the B plot with the dark elves, and to see what my favorite assassin is up to and his character development through the series. if it were not for those things I would not bother with this series at all. When Salvator wants to be good, he is SO good, but most of these books feel like mediocre shlock.

When I read this book last week, I had no idea that my hometown was going to face the ravages of a hurricane. Please remember Western North Carolina in your prayers as so many have lost loved ones, their homes, businesses, and cars. Many are still without power, water, internet or cell service ( myself included, I'm currently tethered to my mom's iPad) due to catastrophic flooding. I thank God my family and I are safe.
