Me and my friend brought some books on bookrepository(but it arrived like more than a month later) anyways this was short book so i read it in a span of 2 days(so immediately returned to starfish, 2nd book of cradle and semiosis).

However it is kinda impressive. I don't believe in all the ideas of the but i do believe in one idea it tries to tell the readers

That to truly live sometimes you really have to live like you have no time anymore to live


(not an actual quote from the book but same idea)

5/5 (originally rated 4/5 but overtime as i thought about the book it deserves a perfect score for me considering the the things i am going through atm)

edit:

Also finished (just now)

Ok Cradle is indeed addicting even moreso than his Travelers Gate series. If this even gets better per book i think i might just end up dropping everything i have been reading so far and just binge all Cradle upto the latest.

4/5

another edit after 3 days:

Also finished (Cradle is addicting)

[image loading]

what can i say ? It is addicting. The scope keeps getting bigger and the story just gets more flashier. The pacing gets alot better each book(i guess Will Wight has been getting stronger in writing as his protagonist is)

another 4/5 and already reading the next book (at this point i am gonna end up finishing what's left in a week or so)

I just ordered the Dune series and I'm super excited.
I have no idea how I've got to 34 years old and not read them yet. Seems like the kind of thing that's right up my street. Political/philosophical sci fi <3


So I finished Dune and Dune: Messiah and they are two wildly different reads.
Dune has all the hero's journey stuff in there but Messiah is something else. Its dark and depressing as all hell. I love it. I'm going straight on to the next one and I'm super excited about this series in general.
I'd recommend these books to anyone interested in philosophy and politics (and sci-fi of course).
RIP Meatloaf <3

I've only read the initial novel, but I hope the cultures he writes about (Fremen, Harkonnen, Bene Gesserit) are expanded upon, because that was awesome.

Overall Cradle maintained its quality up to the latest book and the stakes escalated each book.

3/5 just an ok book abit predictable compared to his other series (Codex Alera)

This reminded me a lot of the Witcher books. Kind of similar concept, a lone warrior traveling around dispatching monsters, finds that the people hiring him are often pretty monstrous themselves. The writing (or translation) is a little more childish in comparison, but not too bad.

I liked this because the readings are short. It's a collection of source documents grouped into different subjects like the atom bomb drops, civil rights, women's liberation, vietnam war etc. Good to get a quick acquaintance with the many things that have happened post WW2 in America.

Just finished up Wool. A short story turned into full length novel.
[image loading]

I read a review that said it was a story driven and not character driven plot. Something I found myself fully agreeing with. It felt like things should happen this way and the character traits were made to suit it. Despite that I strongly enjoyed the sense of mystery and many of the early twists were great.

The book is split into 5 "short" stories with the last two more fully integrated and somewhat suffering from being that long. Would recommend just reading the first short story that is also free on Amazon.

The full book didn't keep the same quality as the short idea that spiralled into a series. Personally felt like an early work in an author's career to me. Good ideas, decent execution and missed potential.

@goody153 I know he needs no defenders, but Butcher really improves over the course of the series. His first few books are full of what I call "western tropes" like copy pasted passages and Murphy being predictably an idiot every single book. He cleans it up a lot and even makes fun of himself a few times in later books. I can't say the series will change your life, but I found it overall very enjoyable and it's gone in an interesting direction. We'll see if he goes off the rails Rowling style in the last few books.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

Agency by William Gibson. It's not a bad read but it suffers from a lot of ideas not really finding a voice and kind of seems ad hoc to the main premise of AI gaining agency/sentience.
