Finished The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. The climax and resolutions was really good, even on my 2nd re-read. Finally done with the first era! Wanted to jump right into next book to find out what happens to that one character, but next book is hundreds of years in the future.
Started Five on a Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. Got the series for the kid, he is already halfway through the book and wanted to talk to me about it, so reading it myself.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
There’s a Midyear Bingo check-in post, do take a look. Even if you haven’t started this year’s Book Bingo, you can still join, as there are still 6 months remaining!
For details, you can checkout the initial Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
I agree with you on all points about the science in Hail Mary. However, what bothered me more was the strict, predictable alternation between past and present. This rigid structure detracted from my overall enjoyment of the novel, making the narrative feel somewhat monotonous and, at times, overly predictable.
On the other hand, The Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy by Cixin Liu was a real favorite for me.
It’s been a while since I read it but I know what you mean and I think I felt similarly.
I don’t know that trilogy yet. Thank you for the recommendation :)
