This turned out to be a pretty grim book. It's a lovely story about witches until you reach the genocide.
Dr Ms Kat finished reading The Deluge by Stephen Markley
Look in the end I enjoyed reading this but I don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone. It's long and it's depressing. I enjoyed a lot of the nerd detail, and its very aligned to the sort of work I do (or at least my discipline); your average reader wouldn't get as excited about seeing Integrated Assessment Modelling or Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways mentioned or featured in fiction as me. If you are inclined to climate doomerism, definitely don't read this.

72% through what may be the most depressing book I've ever read. It's compelling - I want to finish it - but it cuts a bit too close. And it's very long.

This book is starting to grow on me. Still only a quarter through it but less concerned about whether I'm going to end up finishing it.

I sometimes have trouble with how seriously high fantasy takes itself. This is probably a me problem.

I am 10 pages in and I already hate the main character (of this chapter? The whole book? Unsure). Hopefully they have a redemption arc.

Someone recommended this to me (I can't remember who - maybe through work?) and it was discounted on the Kobo store so I bought it. Let's see what it's like.

This was lovely but I think I might have had enough of reading this author for a while. Even though I appreciate the gender perspectives and mindship-human romances.

Listening to this as an audiobook, I always forget that counts as reading a book.

This was great, but also awful. You know those books where something traumatic happens, but there's closure, so you figure you're near the end, but then you realise you still have a third of the book to go? Yeah that.

Already read a lot of this chapter by chapter through JB's Patreon, but it'll be good to read it as a proper book now.
