I primarily listen to audiobooks using Libby, and sometimes Audible. Feel free to ask me about how I have 15 cards on Libby.

“She is experiencing misogyny but at least she’s not the race everyone is being racist to!”
Yeah, not interested
The start was confusing and I'm not sure if the stories really needed to exist in the same book. That being said, each of the stories stuck with me in their own way, and supported one another sufficiently. I ended up liking how they got wrapped up. I do think that it would have been okay for the characters to be more historically mundane, to not have such notable epilogues, but maybe they only feel so notable because I know what they went through, making them not feel so mundane as they might in the grand scheme of things. Maybe I'm too used to folx at the margins not being recognized for the work, that it makes me feel self conscious when our simple actions of survival become a part of something that feels so much bigger than we realized.

This has been on my PTR for a bit. A friend encouraged me to check it out because it shares some similarities to the book/show "Silo" (which is based on a book series) and the book/show "The Expanse". Like Silo, the people are "siloed" onto a ship, and the different levels are reflective of different social classes. Like the Expanse, more effort is put into exploring how this spacial disparity impacts cultural practices with more diversity than we see in Silo, particularly through things like language. I wasn't completely sure if I'd like to stick with it, but it's definitely better than some of the other books I've been dropping lately.
