This one was... fine. It wasn't terrible, and I'll probably carry on with the series.

Okay so I finished this two days ago and then things in life got busy and then posts didn't happen. But I finished it! There are components of this story that still confused me... Once I got my head wrapped around the concept of space as something much closer to the sea than, well, space, I was able to follow the plot and the world,but sometimes the character relationships and whatnot didn't entirely follow for me.

This has been on my TBR for quite a while, and I finally got my hands on a copy and read it! I wasn't as TOTALLY PSYCHED about as I was hoping I would be, but I still really enjoyed it. It's think it's the first time I've read a book that uses xe/xyr pronouns implied as being the default for someone whose gender is unknown, so that was pretty awesome.

Okay so I think reading this one I really got into the read-a-thon mood, like I just sat down and powered through it. I'm still not totally floored by these books but, but they maneuver with certain ideas that I find totally fascinating and important, and they're IN SPACE so I still enjoyed both The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and A Closed and Common Orbit quite a lot.
Amazing job! I have the Becky Chambers books in my TBR somewhere...I'm glad they were enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThey are! They read in a kind of episodic way? So it's a bit like watching a 6-part space opera mini-series, which is, of course, kind of the dream. They're also pretty quiet books, less focused on big dramatic space battles and more focused on the characters navigating relationships, which was interesting.
Delete4 books is pretty good. I finished 4 1/2! And one of the books I read also took place in space! I totally died out with the challenges on the weekend. I was doing good keeping up with them until the weekend hit and then I just dropped off the face of the earth with them. Lol. I also wanted to participate in the twitter chats but slept through them both. Oh well. My main goal was the reading and I did succeed with that. Glad you got a lot of reading done! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you met your reading goals! I only managed one of the Twitter chats myself, sometimes things just happen you know? That you got any challenges done is impressive to me, a person who didn't actually do any of them... anyway. It sounds like we both read and had fun so that's the real win, right?
DeleteSounds like a successful read-a-thon to me! It's hard to fit in everything it does at least seem like you did a ton of reading :)
ReplyDeleteI think in terms of reading it was pretty good... I wish I hadn't dropped the ball on the challenges, but what can you do?
