I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

Totally agree, I understood where Svetlana was coming from, but after 13 years I was like, come on!

Also, this is probably particular to the audiobook, but I was frustrated at times by the way the author would switch scenes quickly. In the audiobook there was no pause or anything, and it was disorienting a few times. Made things a bit dream like. I assume in text there would be a break of some kind. The audiobook should have had more pauses.

Anyways, I look forward to hearing what you think of House of Suns! If you liked the time dilation and whatnot in this one you’ll love it! And that’s all I’ll say about that.
