Artificial Condition (Murderbot DIaries #2) ~ Martha Wells


 Like #1, a reading palate cleanser ... a quick and enjoyable read, immersive sci-fi world. Fun Murderbot

All Systems Red (Murderbot Diaries 1) ~ Martha Wells


 Rogue Robot

Enjoyable, engaging, snappy sci-fi

I was just looking for a little palate cleanser and this was perfect.  A short book, a quick read ... and have ordered the next in the series!

Let Us Descend ~ Jesmyn Ward


 This really should have been a DNF.


What was meant to pass for magic realism was more like continuing dream-sequences followed by and-then-I-woke-up


Don't know wtf I kept reading

All The Colours of the Dark ~ Chris Whitaker

This started out as 4-5 star read.  Ripping page turner with a great premise, excellent character development and interaction, well written dialogue.  If only it had finished half way through.  The second half of the book was an anchor that dragged it down to boredom and cliched triteness.

The Kraken Wakes ~ John Wyndham

 

Could not get into the G R R Martin so thought i might slip into this ... but it wasn't the right time for a reread

A lot of blah blah blah for the introductory book for a trilogy.

Too many characters; too shallow; too ridiculous,
