Heard a short bit about this on Future Tense podcast

This is a SF novel embedded within a roman à clef about a SF novelist who resembles at some distance the author herself

But not exactly, all the way through. It's a rich text, and I'm only 10% through

Read when discovered at a Little Free Library near my beach cabin.

A fluffy and delightful SF comedy.

Ah, dang I love these stories.

I get a kick out of the extended Radch stories with their heavily cliquey diplomatic politics

But I Just Can't Get Enough

of the Raven Tower universe, with its very specific rules about how gods work and live with humans. Some parts of the Raven Tower stories even feel a little bit like the old Asimov (I, Robot) or Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) stories, because they're an exploration of possible conduct under certain very confined rules of politics and promises.

Do Not Make Promises To Gods is clearly the best operating procedure, but gah it seems so interesting.

Want to hear more about the Auditors of Narendra, though.

Hooray libraries, and hooray Leckie.

slow and meditative and almost entirely free of plot, even as Dex and Mosscap find their way through being famous in this Always Coming Home world

Nothing too surprising to me here but lots of good stories about how weird our minds are , especially in groups

Took me a long time to get through this, but it's because the simultaneous stories of... probably fifteen different main characters, three of which are robots and two of which are dogs

At least one is a dimension-hopping alien and a veteran at the same time. It's a chewy, rich cast and there are no truly bad guys in it (well, maybe one).

A solarpunk triumph

Libraries are the luxury space utopia we deserve

Oh I never knew he'd written this entire masterpiece and it's available in English now!

Non fiction about magical thinking

Looking forward to this

Definitely a debut novel; feels sort of like a handbasket full of plots, mostly strung together

Feels like the missing volume in the middle of SEVENEVES, though, in a lot of ways that Stephenson could learn from (but won't)

I still believe that libraries are a flowering of a free republic. Thank you White Center KCLS

Another sweet romance book about broken paladins — this one gay. Full of darkly funny T. Kingfisher gnole humor that is very much reminiscent of DIGGER.

Like the other (straight) romances in this series, hot and sweet.
