Weekly Sci Fi Diary | January 31st 2025

overall I think I liked it but I didn'tlove it's it's probably better than my lowest ranked two or threeof the culture novels but it's not up there with the best and by long shot

on audio book I'm a about two-thirds of the way throughdeath stalker which has been tremendous fun so far

I felt sure that I was going to dnf it about 50 pages and then forsome reason against my better judgment pushed on futile for another 50 or 60Pages before just sacking it off I decided it wasn't working for me and Iwas wasting time when I could be reading something that I liked much more

Lady of Mazes is not aneasy read I felt like I was hanging on by my fingertips throughout there's verylittle Exposition a little bit like the Tom toner book that I read earlier inJanuary and you just kind of have to figure stuff out as you go sha does dripfeed a little bit more background information as the book progressesbut you're largely on your own figuring out what the hell's going on so it's notone to skim through on auto pilot I am intrigued though by the World building

I didn't particularlylove roadside picnic either I liked it but it didn't excite meparticularly
