Remarkable
5 stars
Fantastic from beginning to end. While it is a work of fiction, the parallels to fact and history are powerful.
The book's synopsis did not pique my interest, but I was quickly lost in the story. Just an amazing read.

I totally understand why this book received so many accolades, and I'm not even a third of the way through!

Brilliant story, wonderful characters
4 stars
The story begins abruptly. Soon, we are drawn into a science-fiction tale with a small cast of characters and tropes. There is action, subterfuge, and even courtroom drama. Is this story a warning? Are we mice?

Yes. It is just more Murderbot. And that is a good thing.

Another great entry. I've seen some negative reviews, I can't help but enjoy reading about SecUnit's (mid)adventures.

Taking my time with this one, heavy on the philosophy but the story is starting to amp up.

Hey all, just a quick Q here about the author page for Sanderson. Why does it say "duplicate"? Where is the non-duplicate page if this is the duplicate? Even using a different link (bookwyrm.social/author/863/s/brandon-sanderson) redirects to the page labelled "duplicate". Just wondering if we could change that back is all.

It is immediately clear that the author is heavy into philosophy. I had to reread a few paragraphs to keep things clear in my head, but now I've caught on to what's happening. It looks like I am in for a very interesting story.

I did read the first book in this series. I might as well keep it going.

Surprising suspenseful
4 stars
Hard to put down. I was deep into plot and characters. The story is absurd, but that was what I needed.
As a fan of dystopia and speculative hard sci-fi, it was great to have a lighthearted read like this. I like history, but am not a history nerd. I thought Shakespeare was fine as a student, and I am an English professor, but I am not at all a Shakespeare nerd. History and Shakespeare are two main themes here and it didn't bother me one bit to learn some interesting tidbits along the way.
Sure, I wouldn't have read the first book in the series had Neal Stephenson not been the coauthor. I admit that. I am certainly glad that the story continued on here.
Hope to read another absurd story in this series someday.

Read book 1 and loved it. So far loving this one too. Having way too many ideas for DEDEs though. Like, go back just a few years and make it so nobody could ever screenshot anything. Imagine that. Like, just casually push software designers to not invent the feature, and then go back and create some sort of patent for the idea. Not for money. Just so I could create a funny name for it. And, of course, to prevent the undetermined amount of CO2 and bandwidth used so people can share private conversations with eachother.
