I liked the worldbuildling more than the story
I agree. I'm fresh out of sci-fi/space opera stuff tho. Still slogging thru Perdido Street Station (which isn't space opera), and missing early Bujold.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I went with Daemon [link] - I was going to wait until it came out in paperback, but hey, free shipping!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Mieville is not a quick, easy read, no. But that book is pretty awesome, even if it leaves you feeling really dirty. We get it, dude, New Crobuzón is REALLY STANK.

Ooh, a friend of mine reviewed that a while ago and interviewed the author. It sounds really cool.

They've made a game based on Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth. Does that sort of thing happen often?

Jilli!! It looks like my B&N isn't going to be getting any copies of your book!! Damnit. I can special order it for myself, but I can't handsell it at the counter.

I have that game, and I hate it a lot. Not more than I hate the book, but that would be tough to do.

Three other stores near me do have it in stock, but mine is one of two locally that doesn't. Shit.
