Deborah Pickett finished reading Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist (Empire #1)
Mara, a young, untested Ruling Lady of Kelewan, is called upon to lead her people …
There are two more of these, but I don’t think I will. It’s not bad, but this is the writing of a different era and it hasn’t aged well.

A big fat dead tree tome with tiny print. This could take a while, assuming I don’t bounce off it.
Deborah Pickett finished reading System Collapse by Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries, #7)
Am I making it worse? I think I'm making it worse.

Yeah I think I am done with the Murderbot franchise. Not that there's anything wrong with this specific book, but there's just a sameyness to them all which I think, after seven of these (at a really good per-book price) I no longer need to dip back into this universe.

I know, more of the same author, but it’s what’s on my ereader.
Deborah Pickett finished reading Emilie & the sky world by Martha Wells (Emilie, #2)
When Emilie and Daniel arrive in Silk Harbor, Professor Abindon, an old colleague of the …
These two stories were quite enjoyable. I get the feeling that Wells had in mind a third that could have explained what happened with Emilie’s older brother Erin, but it never materialized.

Steampunk young adult fiction is an unexpected hit. Wells continues to be easy to read. There’s nothing profound in this adventure but it’s a fabulous romp.

(Actually the ebook I have is a compendium of both stories in this series. One of the books in the cheapo bundle I got last year. I am lazy and cannot be bothered looking for more books to read so I just grabbed something already on my ereader.)
Deborah Pickett finished reading Witch King by Martha Wells

Wells is very easy to read and this book, though the genre isn’t really my thing, is no exception.

Still reading it! It’s … fine … but doesn’t change my opinion that fantasy is no longer my thing.

This one came in a bundle of Wells’s stories. I’m not one for high fantasy, especially kinds that use the body-possession trope, but I’ll at least read enough of it to be sure.

The security droid with a heart (though it wouldn’t admit it!) is back in Fugitive …
I think I need to read another series for a bit.

Oh, that is a short story.

Deborah Pickett finished reading Network Effect by Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries, #5)
I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems …
I don’t much like one of the characters in this, one that we met before in Artificial Condition. Fortunately there were some new characters too who seemed mostly likeable.
