What are you reading/listening to this week? (September 27th, 2023)

Finished Prime City by Michael Robertson. It's the second book in a cyberpunk thriller series, and it was okay. It was a bit grittier than the first one, to its advantage, but while the first one pretty much stood on its own, this one was very obviously just an installment of a series.

Started Bounty Hunter - the third in the series. It's not the last, but I suspect it'll be the last for me. It's okay, and there's nothing really wrong with Robertson's writing - it's just all sort of generic, and I'm getting bored. It's about time for something more challenging.

I just started listening to Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods. Fun to see the “original trio” back together again.

Finally finished The 3 Body Problem (thank you to everyone who encouraged me to keep going) and then read a quick novella called The End We Start From, which is being made into a movie starring Jodie Comer. Trying not to start anything because one of my holds is in transit but when it arrives I will be reading House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski.

I'm kicking off Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's the second book after Children of Time, which instantly became one of my favorite sci-fi books. It's not terribly long and worth checking out.
