Yikes, Beth is pretty damn harsh to Ed. I wonder what's going to happen.

Finished this on the plane on the way home from England. I love the two stories that I've read so far in this series, and I almost started the third one right away, but I was too close to landing to get far into it, so I'll save it for another day.

I guess I'll give any Tchaikovsky book a read based on these.

@swinstead That's me!

@swinstead If he reads the audiobook version I'll give this a listen!

@swinstead I listened to the audiobook version of this on a road trip to North Dakota in the early 2000s using an iPod with one of those little FM transmitters on top so we could tune the car radio to the frequency it broadcasts on. Absolutely brilliant book!

I'm listening to the audiobook version of this while I shovel wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of woodchips off my driveway and into the garden.

I loved the first book in the series, and the first 5 chapters of this one have been great, setting the scene that's all to familiar, but in new and interesting ways.

I read the first book in this series a million years ago, and kept waiting for this to be available digitally. I contacted the author by email to ask about it a long time ago, and he said it wasn't likely. So I bought a copy on eBay and took it on the camping trip I just went on with my son.

I'm struggling to remember what happened in the first book, so I'm going to find a recap online and then try to get on with this one! I'm enjoying it so far, although I'm only a few chapters in.

Thoroughly enjoyable if you like stories of science, astronomy, women's liberation, and travel/adventure. I really wish I'd read this in the approach of the total solar eclipse I saw in April.

Something out of my comfort zone. I probably should have read this a couple of months ago, before the eclipse.

Blasted through this one in short order. Very enjoyable. I prefer the sci-fi elements to the romance ones, but oh well.

I kind of want to read the factual stuff about the voyage now, and maybe watch The Terror, which apparently tells the story of the voyage in one season.

I have really enjoyed this so far. I've been making time to listen to it.

I saw that it was tagged as "romance" alongside "sci-fi" but I have to say I wasn't expecting the stuff that just happened, especially while I was out walking the dog!

I like the concept of this!

Brilliant story. The desert part toward the end is fascinating. The couple of small parts that come after seem a little out of place, but were interesting by themselves.

Picked this up because someone on Lemmy posted a quote from Saint-Exupery. Not sure if it was from this book, but I don't care. The writing is exquisite.

By the time I got to the end I had forgotten it was by Hugh Howey. I like the ideas it talks about, but I'm too much of a pessimist to believe any of it could actually happen.
