Reading, reading!
Mar. 28th, 2022 10:21 amBeen busy with some other things, but I have done some reading. I'm now about halfway through The Baron of Magister Valley (Brust) and have just started Xenotech: Queen's Gambit (Schroeder).
The latter is a book I've been waiting two years for: I purchased the first book in the Xenotech Support series at a convention, pre-pandemic, to see if I'd enjoy it. I did, very much, and was excited to pick up the next one when the con came round again! Then the convention was cancelled two years in a row. This year I got both my convention and the next two books, which I'm very much looking forward to. :D
If you enjoy humourous sci-fi, pick up the first book, Xenotech Rising, and have fun!
My feelings on the Brust novel so far are somewhat more complex, mostly because of the introduction. The story itself is fun so far (the daring escape has just occurred!) though, and hopefully it will lessen the unpleasantness of Will Shetterly's existence, which has made Dragaera and the Dzur far less enjoyable than they ought to be. :/
