My next roll in the #BookishMonopoly led me to the field “Second book in a series“, which is absolutely perfect! I got this book for Christmas and wanted to read it anyway. I couldn't find an English translation but it's the second part of Lukianenkos Mirrorverse series. There are two books and one short story, but the latter hasn't been translated to German or English 😥

Weekly Report
I've finished the utterly strange Life of Insects. I've also read the emotional Aue. After an odd ebook set back, I am continuing 2666 at home and King Lear of the Steppes is my subway read.
The Russians are mingling! The 3 Khvoshchinskaya sisters were writing at the same time as the Brontës. Like the Bs, the K sisters wrote under male pseudonyms, were strapped for dollars and put off that marrying nonsense. Sofia writes more in an Austen vein, though.
I‘ve already laughed a dozen times.
pickIf I were less patient for slow starts, I might have put this down. But the set up is worth it. After developing the setting, the remaining pages were thrilling. It‘s a product of its time in some ways, but in others, there are discussions of real, modern problems. Some actions characters take are repulsive, but it‘s not dwelt on for longer than needed to portray what despair can drive people to do. Good for those who like lengthy reads.
Ok… couldn‘t wait Christmas decor up✔️
