My wife was startled to learn I'd never read this. And it somehow wound up on my holiday list. 🤷

Not what I usually go for, but enjoyable enough.

Wavers between horrific, depressing and energising. I'm going to be rereading this, especially the last chapter

Still liking this series, but this one just didn't grab me as much. The added twist just doesn't work as well for me I think.

My favourite Embassy book so far. I don't do murder(-ish) mysteries often, but this one was a fun and captivating one.

I really liked the concept, and the direction the story took surprised me. Fun enough to keep reading.

I didn't make it very far through this. The first few chapters are a series of stories about how the stars and moon are referred to in different cultures. It's interesting but disjointed - if there's an overarching narrative here it's gone right over this layperson's head and I just couldn't bring myself to give it the time it needed.

An accidental find looking for local Aboriginal history in my library.

Enjoyable, very thoroughly researched book discussing the impracticalities of off-world settlement. Covers a much broader range than I was expecting, too, attempting to explain technology, sociology, biology, as well as the legal and geopolitical problems.
