My Scar reading has sped up, because it's going well so far. Here's 2 things I've thought about this morning:
1) this book could pull the exact same twist that Perdido Street Station did, with Tanner. Please don't, book.
2) hearing about the different lands makes me think very strongly of the Wayward Children series
pickAnnihilation was by far my favorite of the trilogy
pickMy first Mieville in English! I was a bit scared to read this chunkster, but I think I managed pretty well. I had to fight sometimes to make it through, but as always, Mieville is worth it.
The world-building is just amazing, and I got sucked into this special world. We deal with a lot during this story. Politics, betrayal, death, but also friendship, honesty and making things right.

pickI enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The worldbuilding is weird in a good way. But the ending was a mess and it could have used a little bit more editing. Recommend the audio as well.

1) Stuart Turton, but you're probably all fed up of me plugging his books by now, so I'm gonna give a shout out to Jeff Vandermeer, Emily St John Mandel, Helen Oyeyemi, Neil Gaiman, Haruki Murakami, Brian K. Vaughan, Patricia Lockwood, Blake Crouch, David Mitchell, Alison Rumfitt, Patrick DeWitt, Stephen King, N.K. Jemison, Claire North, and Bernadine Evaristo.
2) Jeff Vandermeer's fungalpunk Finch was decent.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them

Starting this next 🎧
so-soFinally finally finished this trilogy. Definitely struggled to hold me at many points but I powered through all three. Gd I want to like sci fi more than I do. The final book was cool jumping between characters' perspectives. No satisfying explanation of course but not that mad at it.
