| + | * [[wp>Ancillary Justice|Ancillary Justice]] by [[wp>Ann Leckie]] - Munro loaned this to me, said I'd enjoy it. The synopsis looks interesting. Finished: This was not bad. I thought I'd be more captivated by the two characters who had multiple bodies, but the idea wasn't focused on as much as I'd have liked. Nothing else stood out really. Meh, it was okay but not sure I'll bother reading the other two in the trilogy. | ||

| + | * [[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. | ||

| + | * [[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.
