I plowed through this at first. But its weirdness eventually caught up with me and I ran out of steam.
Which isn't to say I'm not enjoying it, it just feels like the DJ is constantly building, but won't actually drop the bass...

Enjoying it so far, though I have some issues with the style. I'm all for experimentation, but I really want the POV character to stay locked, or I end up getting taken out of the story while I try to figure out whose head I'm meant to be in.
I also assumed that the references to fascism would be metaphorical, not an actual malignant force that comes out of the walls...
Still, early days though, and it's good enough that my morning commute flies by.

Has Big Murderbot energy. Though I don't want to lessen it by reducing it to a facsimile of another book. It is also its own thing.
It does feel a little "rough," of that's the right word. But that could just be my old-man sensibilities clashing with the story.
Aaron finished reading Needle by Linda Nagata (Inverted Frontier, #3)
“Tanjiri is not for you. You are not ready to encounter what exists there.”

Slightly disappointed in this. I think I need some time to collect my thoughts.
I will take a break before reading Blade though, maybe I'm just over-saturated.

I think binging these will have made me a little burned out, so it's hard to get back into them. And also the author may have some weird views on gender that are rubbing me a bit wrong. Nothing too egregious, it's got my spidey sense tingling.
