False alarm, I did NOT hit my 25 books goal, I had some buggy metadata on a book, probably from when I imported some stuff from my old bookwyrm.social account a few months ago.

I really liked the Broken Earth Trilogy so thought I'd check out others but I just can't get into this one...maybe I will try as audio book. Maybe it's the general topic that's not that interesting to me. Anyone read? Is it worth coming back to?

@nausikaa omg, I actually never watched the east cause I was too pissed about hearing about it. I did actually end up liking this book a lot though, but mostly cause the anarchist stuff was treated as a setting and not really what the book was "about" per se (no heavy-hamded moralizing about it or whatever).

Content warning Plot details but no big spoilers
Was prepared to hate-read this but halfway through I'm surprised at how little I'm cringeing at the plot, which is basically every undercover-cop-infiltrates-anarchists shitshow of the last 25 years mushed together in thinly-veiled-Tarnac... I could imagine many different directions for this book that would fucking enrage me and very few that I would find satisfying, but Kushner is a good and understated writer so I'm curious to see where it goes.
