I'm glad I dropped the last book and started on this. Calendrical heresy is such an intriguing concept.

Read this before but time to revisit it.
Dr Ms Kat stopped reading Shikasta (Canopus in Argos: Archives) by Doris Lessing
Nope, I've had enough.

This book is highly judgemental and it's getting on my nerves quite a bit. Remains to be seen if I will finish it.

The first 100 ebook pages have been a lot of turgid world-building, so I hope the remaining 1000 pages gets better. Also there are no chapters.

This has been on my Kobo wishlist for years, and it went on sale so I bought it. I have absolutely no idea what it's about - I think Adam Savage recommended it on a podcast.

This is unlikely to help with my apocalypse ennui but James S A Corey at least understands pacing.
Dr Ms Kat finished reading The Bound Worlds by Megan E. O'Keefe
Yup this suffered from the same repeated ramping up and up and up that I mentioned about the previous book. I had to take breaks from reading it at times because I got so fatigued from Yet Another Plot Twist. Good story, just frustrating writing style. Also, does the universe have to be threatened with ending every time in this type of sci-fi?

Dr Ms Kat finished reading The Fractured Dark by Megan E. O'Keefe
This was a rip-snorter of a book, but I can't help but feel it was too long. Actually most of O'Keefe's books make me feel like this. Approaching a good wrap up point for the story, except no, there's another quarter of the book to go. She's excellent at ramping up stories - tension, release - but she repeats it too many times, so that by the time you reach the end you're a bit fatigued from all of the new obstacles that keep getting placed in the protagonist's path.
