A lot of people talk up the Culture series ship names. They're great! But how come I've never heard how great octopus ship names are in Children of Ruin before?

Well, I didn't expect space zombie fiction but that's where I seem to be right now
TurtleHat stopped reading Soldier of the Mist by Gene Wolfe (Soldier of the Mist, part 1)

What a wild ride
4 stars
This is a fun, weird space opera in a weird, alien-filled universe. This book explores how sentient life can experience the universe in a stange, grim world.
The book borders on goofy or chaotic at times, but it's sure fun. I'm going on to book 2.

Very zany universe almost to the point of being silly at times. A fun space opera adventure exploring the differences between forms of sentient life.
Looking forward to reading book 2

It was fun! Didn't go where I thought it would go but I had fun along the way. It's probably not A.T.'s best book but it's still a good one, I think. I would say it's a worthy sequel to Dogs of War

This book feels a bit like the Mothership RPG + Mass Effect + small ship adventure stuff like Firefly or the Expanse. I enjoy the complex, messy world. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
