reading the hugo award nominees | part 1

the two five stars so far are Elder race and a song for The Wild Bill I think Elder race is my favorite of the novellas just like what that did I think Morrison because it like surprised me where I knew I was gonna like a song for The Wild Bill

the first half I really liked the second half was just like fine I end up giving it three stars which is kind of what I expected from this but it was okay I like what it was doing with the themes of like Sleeping Beauty and fairy tales and having agency in your own story and like just commentary and stuff

I did read the book before across the green grass field by seanan McGuire so I'm ready for that one but I want to take a little break because that follows characters I really loved

I just finished Elder Race by Adrian chakowski and that Novella was such a surprise to me because it hit so many things that I love and I never would have read it if I wasn't reading it for this

I will say this did feel like it was a smaller chunk of a larger story and that was both good and bad like it definitely was like oh this is a story that sort of exists outside of even this and there's more to it but it's also like okay it feels like there's stuff like missing there's more to it and like this should be part of a full novel almost but I was also interested enough in if it was a full novel like I would have read a full novel of like that story

I read and finished this was fine I liked it but I didn't love it as much as I was thinking I would

all right I just finished project Hail Mary I really liked it I this is my first Andy where I didn't read the Martian I've seen parts of the movie but really had no interest this was good I Liked It audiobook for sure I think I wouldn't have liked it as much if I was reading it in physical copy
