Leaving_Marx wants to read Matrix by Lauren Groff
Recommended to me by the pregnant clerk at the bookstore for the hot nun sex in the convent. (for the sake of narrative, lets pretend she was hitting on me!)

Leaving_Marx started reading Las Indignas / the Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica
Leaving_Marx reviewed Days of Shattered Faith by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Welcome to Alkhalend, Jewel of the Waters, capital of Usmai, greatest of the Successor States, …
A Trilogy with 3 separate themes
4 stars
This was the final book in the Tyrant Philosophers series, I appreciated the overarching narrative of the series though the first book really stood out as the strongest offering.
Basically, first book got me with the colonial/resistance stories of early industrialism in a magical word. Felt really exciting and had the morals and outcomes I love to see with the underdogs.
second book takes place in the medic tents of the colonial army and even with the mutinous and subversives in the narrative it felt like so much more a book of complicated compromises.
this final book was like an exploration of statecraft and power struggles among the rules and while those can be fascinating stories, i just would so much rather the earlier narratives, lessons and outcomes.
but i think some of you freaks love that big picture and powerful people fighting vibes so i could see it really …

Leaving_Marx reviewed House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Tyrant Philosophers, #2)
City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world. …
Book 2 lets go
5 stars
Really loved the first book in this series so even with developing the characters and world further and the addition of a demon sex workers character, it can only get a 4.5 to differentiate it from book 1.
set in a military camp this time, it appeared as a departure from a lot of the themes from the first book but it maintained the polygod central plot.
Definitely enjoyed and would recommend and am not sure where book three is gonna take us, but i am in for the ride.

Second Go this time with the sequels
5 stars
I really think this is one of my favourite AT novels I have read.
My simple pitch, this is the fantasy novel equivalent of Fredy Perlmans "Worker-student action committees".
full stop.

Finale
5 stars
Just wrapped up this series and very much appreciated it. It had both the scale of everything but still kept the story and characters within a time and place that was easy to comprehend.
many sympathetic characters and many despicable.
By the end I had trouble keeping track of the different factions involved in the grand scale of all the issues, but I appreciated the application of three way fight logistics, and cataclysmic problems.
happy I read it and for anyone Adrian Tchaikovsky pilled it is a great series.
