Way too USian. If you want to give tons of descriptions of the dimensions of things, maybe don't use imperial units. The book also assumes you are familiar with the geography of NY and the US. These two things make it a tiring read. Might be fine as an audiobook.
I read this expecting romance but it is basically all palace intrigue. That's just as good. :)
Established in 2025, the purpose of the new organization was simple: To advocate for the …
The bookmarks for this audiobook are on my old phone. Never gonna finish this now.
It's a science fiction work.

This book was certainly fun and contained a handful of interesting ideas. However, I was missing a coherent throughline to the book. It really just draws a lot of analogies and relates separate things (often in very interesting ways). Especially if you don't follow 'tech politics' as obsessively as I do, you might find a lot of fun (and depressing) things in here.

This book is both extremely angry and extremely edgy. Also a very pure powerfantasy (the character goes from pushed around by her family to essentially empress of the whole area). Nonetheless very fun.

This book is so much fun! An excellent sequel. Many exciting world building reveals, some nice character development and chemistry. What more can you ask for?

Even though it took me a long time to read, I really enjoyed this one. It essentially revolves around living immersed in academia/in the ivory tower and the personal and ethical questions that come with it. This, of course, is pretty closely related to what I'm currently doing. The language is really nice as well.
From the award-winning author of Altered Carbon and Broken Angels--a turbocharged new thriller set in …
The most enjoyable aspect of this book is that it takes place in a world where all aspects of corporate culture have been taken to absurd extremes. Apart from that, it is Richard Morgan's usual bleak and violent vision of the future that I have come to love.
Sequel to Shadow Captain.
Compared to the previous book, the pace picks up a bit. By the end, most of the hanging threads get tied up somewhere.

The book is quite fun. Sailing in space is a shockingly sound concept. The most surprising aspect of this book is that it is very British, both in the language the characters use but especially the made up future slang. Very fun!
