Reading Exodus: The Archimedes Engine

Rated Gateway 8/10

Fun, as usual. I'm starting to get a bit...I don't know...about this series.<br/><br/>The stakes keep getting higher...kinda.<br/><br/>The dialog and the shenanigans with Skippy are funny, but I feel like things are getting drawn out...because people keep buying the books.<br/><br/>Still excited to read the next one, though.

Rated The Mercy of Gods 10/10

Not as "fun" as the Expanse series. MUCH more serious. Much more grim.<br/><br/>But the writing is poetic. The story is FASCINATING. Can't wait for the next one!

Rated The Anvil of Dust and Stars 6/10

Listened to it. Pretty fun. Excited to listen to the next one, but sadly no more audio books.

Rated Eyes of the Void 6/10

I really really really wanted to like this book, but it just couldn't hold my attention.<br/><br/>Not sure if it's the narrator or what.<br/><br/>I listened to it. Pretty sure I followed most of the plot, but my mind would just wonder.<br/><br/>I'm generally a HUGE Tchaikovsky fan. *shrug*

Mr Bloom makes a very compelling case here, although I think many will find it subtle.

Rated You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty 8/10

Touching. Sweet. "Real". Fascinating.<br/><br/>Not my usual genre, but I enjoyed it.<br/><br/>No space viruses or magic. Just people living. Also from a racial and cultural vantage that I rarely inhabit.<br/><br/>Glad I read it!

Rated Service Model 8/10

Fascinating. Not super fun. At times silly.<br/>Clearly a cautionary tale.<br/>Certainly fascinating. Very well written.<br/><br/>Still...pondering what I think about it...

Rated The Alloy of Law 8/10

Sanderson rocks. A very fun ride. Great characters. Great pacing. Funny, exciting, at times scary.<br/><br/>Wild West + magic is a great combination.

Rated Across the Universe 6/10

<br/> <br/>Solid. Entertaining. The back and forth between perspectives worked okay, but was a bit much at times. Enjoyable, but not awesome.
