Stettin Station | David Downing
post image

Proud of myself! With Stettin Station I\\\'ve finished my Roll100 for the month.

Stettin Station is the best so far of this series set in Hitler\\\'s Berlin. Characters you are cheering for, even as you\\\'re horrified by what is happing in the city and the world.

Seabreeze_Reader @puddlejumper Quick question. Are you using the web version or the app? If it is the app, is it for iPhone or Android. There is a weird glitch going on Litsy and other not so good stuff going on within LT. 4h
PuddleJumper @Seabreeze_Reader Oh is that what's been going on? Huh. I'm on the mobile app on Android but the / stuff also shows up on the desktop version 4h
Seabreeze_Reader @PuddleJumper Thank you! 🙂 Hopefully it\'s just a glitch and will be resolved soon. 4h

I do get tired of fantasy worlds where women are still treated like crap. Can't we imagine something different?

Immersive, beautifully written, complex space opera. Imaginative world building makes it more than mere space opera. Looking forward to book 2.

I love how much this series utilizes the setting and the old traditions and beliefs and superstitions of the area. Another good entry to the series.

Dynastic shenanigans on the moon dominate the trilogy. Cuthroat politics (with actual cut throats) and no quarter given. Good wrap up to a wildly imaginative view of what might happen if we colonize the moon. Naturally, the poor folks do the suffering.

Final entry to the trilogy. Science fantasy, beautifully written but I will admit the book seemed to last forever, with twists and turns toward the end. Enjoyed it nonetheless.

I'd forgotten now different the ending of this book was from the HBO series. Other differences as well, but the worst cliffhangers. Sigh... Never gonna get the rest.

Thanks @5feet.of.fury for the group read.

The Blighted Stars | Megan E. O'Keefe

Some truly amazing ideas in this book, (one, 'printing your consciousness into a new body when needed' ) with a great plot and complex characters who you aren't sure are the good guys or the bad guys. Turns out, maybe they aren't who they think they are, or at least their minds might not be their own.

Well, darnn. Since the state of Utah is banning this book, I guess I'll have to read it. I'm not big on YA romance but if the story is good enough I'll give it a try. I HATE banning books.

Summertide | Charles Sheffield

Hard SciFi focused on a doublet planet system which is going into a once in several thousand year close approach. What will happen? Especially with the alien atrifact that ties the two planets together?

Interesting and enjoyable, with focus on the planetary science.
