A living environment of heaving industry, rife politics, and inventive technology, into which stumble an engaging duo of plucky orphans and their interesting supporting cast, is entirely let down by a terrible third act that turns our protagonists into weird living MacGuffins wreaking bafflingly meaningless chaos on a plot gone wild. What could have been Miévillian, grotesquely creative and socially cutting, turns instead to characterless libertarian mush with a big bad that’s just a bunch of racist Aztec stereotypes and portmanteaus slapped onto the eye-rolling demon of communism fearmongered by American podcasters. If only Benjamin Carl - sorry - Karl Marx had just run for German parliament instead of trying the revolutionary approach!

Has anyone read the Jackelian series by Stephen Hunt?

Seeking a friend to discuss this super interesting series with. Its steampunk/political commentary/fantasy and really cool!

Yes, readers, Sliding Void #4 has now hit the bookshops!

Yes, readers, Sliding Void #4 has now hit the bookshops!

Anomalous Thrust is the fourth book in author Stephen Hunt’s Sliding Void space opera series. It’s a completely stand-alone adventure, not directly linked to the first three books (although Anomalous Thrust is set chronologically a year after the end of the previous books).

It’s also full novel-sized, rather than novella-sized.

Stephen Hunt “The Court of the Air”

What I'm reading Wednesday

A weekly update of what I’ve been reading and what’s up next.

Only two books to talk about in this week's wirw - Wuthering Heights and The Virgin Suicides. I actually really loved Wuthering Heights. It was nothing at all like I expected it to be, but I feel like my reading experience was better not knowing too much going in. The Virgin Suicides I wasn't such a fan of.

I've had a couple of books languishing in my currently reading pile for months - Stephen Hunt's Court of the Air and Dan Simmon's Olympos. I've decided to launch project 'Get those books off the list or so help me God', so I'm going to be working on getting those books finished in the coming week.

What is everybody else reading?
