Je lis surtout de la SFF en évitant les hommes blancs issus de l'hégémonie culturelle, de la poésie, de la littérature de voyage, de la critique des technologies, puis de l'écologie dans une compréhension assez large. Par snobisme, j'ai une préférence pour les éditions dans la langue d'origine mais les questions de traduction me travaillent aussi beaucoup.

it could have been great but devolve in a waste of time

The writing is great. The world-building is intriguing.

The main problem is the lack of editing work. This book is close to 1000 pages long. This could have been stripped down to 400 pages and the whole book have been great. I mean the plot completely change at 50% of the book. I have read comments about the other books and it seems that they have the same problem. I think I will stop there with this series.

The depiction of women and LGTB is kinda of unnerving. The Lyuccu appear to be based on the Mongol invasion and are very one-sided.

the witcher but with nice people

This was a great and conforting read. I olve every page of it while not being that much into fantasy or medieval stuffs. I wish more books have a more significant element of care like this book does.

The security droid with a heart (though it wouldn’t admit it!) is back in Fugitive …

a bit disappointing after Network Effect

It's kinda weird to get back to the novella format. the story also happens before Network Effect so that's also a bit going backward in terms of narratives and intensity.
