Well, I've read both ... perhaps it's that in Feed they know what they're dealing with and how to live with it - it's their normal. In the other, the people don't realize what they're going to face and if there's any way to deal with it.
Willow: You know what they say. The bigger they are... Anya: The faster they stomp you into nothin'.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Hey. New board.
That's probably it.
Space Opera fans, anybody read the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers? I enjoyed the first one and LOVED the second one, but haven't read the third. The characterizations in the second one were extremely compelling, and reviews of the third make me think that might be gone so I'm waiting a while.

I've read the first three (there's a new novella I haven't gotten to yet) and really enjoyed them all, but the second was my favorite for sure.

Hey. New board.
It was so good.
I went ahead and grabbed the third one as an audiobook. More episodic things work for me when I'm washing dishes.

Love the Wayfarers books. The new novella is a different beast but also very good.

Haven't read the third one yet, but liked the first two a lot.

The third Wayfarer is decent, but nowhere are good as the first two IMO. Thanks for the book rec of Future or Another Timeline — compelling read! My BIG rec for all of you, though, is The Ten Thousand Doors of January. It is beautifully written and has such cool characters and interwoven storylines. It's one of the best books I've read in the past couple of years.

Oh, and if you liked Into the Drowning Deep, she just released a...well it isn't a sequel, but a plot-related creepy novella called Spindrift House or some such. Will double check the title. Dark, but well written as always.

I just today finished Ann Leckie's Raven Tower. I enjoyed it; it's quite different from her other stuff, while still having some stylistic & thematic similarities. Pretty neat.
I also just finished There There by Tommy Orange for book club. My book club was divided on it, although the general sense was that it felt like a first novel and while the writing and characterizations were good, it was just too depressing overall. Still, living where I do, it was fun to see the characters pingpong through the city.

I loved Raven Tower so much.
