The Book Count 2024

(05-26-2024, 08:48 AM)Greg Wrote: Shadow Captain by Alastair Reynolds

The further adventures of the Ness sisters with this time Adrana taking over the narrative duties. Fura has become the Quasi captain of the Revenger. The book is a tale of three parts. The first is an attempt to get fuel from one of Bona's secret Baubles. The second is sort of an emergency run to get supplies at a downtrodden world on the outer edge of the worlds. In the final bit they head to find Bona's large stash of quoins.

I did like the fact that we finally got an explanation for the universe which kind of makes sense. So, yay, for that. But on the whole, I don't like the Ness sisters. They both have their faults and I can't choose who is doing the right thing. The whole steampunk space esthetic isn't really doing it for me either. I keep waiting for one of them to come up with an "Aye, matey" Nothing of the pieces really seem to fit well together.

Do you want me to send you book 3?
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
