 +==== February ====
 +  * [[wp>The Expert System'​s Brother]] by [[wp>​Adrian Tchaikovsky]] - This was interesting.
 +  * [[wp>The Expert System'​s Champion]] by [[wp>​Adrian Tchaikovsky]] - I was happy to read more of the original story, but didn't enjoy this one as much, story kinda petered out.

 +==== August ====
 +  * [[wp>​Transcendent_(novel)|Transcendent]] by [[wp>​Stephen Baxter]] - Third in the trilogy, enjoying this one slighty more so far than the second. ​ Finished: Ugh, this was okay, I wish I hadn't bothered with the whole trilogy. ​ He didn't really explore the FTL casuality ideas that I was interested in, and the whole thing was pretty uninteresting. ​ Shame, I had high hopes. ​ It took me a long time to get through.
 +==== June ====
 +  * [[wp>​Exultant (novel)|Exultant]] by [[wp>​Stephen Baxter]] - I'm finding this pretty difficult to read, quite slow.  I'm a big fan of some of Baxter'​s other work, so will slog through and finish this trilogy in the hopes that it pays off.
 ==== April ==== ==== April ====
   * [[wp>The Peripheral]] by [[wp>​William Gibson]] - This had a really unique and interesting premise. ​ I found it a tad confusing at times though. ​ The dialogue annoyed me a little, but it (the dialogue) was well written I thought - natural, Tarantino-like. ​ I heard they'​re making a live action TV series on Amazon Prime, will be interesting to see.  I want to read some more Gibson.   * [[wp>The Peripheral]] by [[wp>​William Gibson]] - This had a really unique and interesting premise. ​ I found it a tad confusing at times though. ​ The dialogue annoyed me a little, but it (the dialogue) was well written I thought - natural, Tarantino-like. ​ I heard they'​re making a live action TV series on Amazon Prime, will be interesting to see.  I want to read some more Gibson.
