Empire of Silence Review (Spoilers)

I had really been looking forward to starting #EmpireOfSilence and the #SunEater series generally by Christopher Ruocchio and then I saw a few old interviews (one as recently as 2022!) about how much he looks up to J*rdan P*terson so I think I’ll skip the entire series before I get into it at all :)

I have decided to DNF Empire of Silence. The first two books of this appear to be basically prologue. I am unwilling to trudge through 1300 pages of prologue while not connecting to the central character, despite the clear potential of this story. I MAY get back to it at some point. #scienceifction #suneater #empireofsilence

Less than two months until the audio edition of Disquiet Gods comes out, so I'm re-reading the rest of the #SunEater series and I'm so happy to hear Samuel Roukin again. He was the perfect choice for this amazing series, which I rank just after The Expanse and The Inhibitor books for favorite space opera. Chef's kiss. #EmpireOfSilence #Bookstodon #audiobook
haven't been reading a lot lately. unfortunately, i tend to hyperfocus on specific hobbies, so reading took a backburner as i went fully into eurovision

HOWEVER! i thought i would just talk about The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez a little bit. i've only read around a quarter of it, but it's shaping up to be one of the best books i've ever read! it's a dark fantasy where a god escaped from her prison and two guys help her escape while being chased. the prose, the pacing, the characters, the worldbuilding... everything about this book ticks all of my boxes

despite not finishing it yet, i would highly recommend it. if you want content warnings, check user-generated ones here: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/65c5a26d-c650-44ac-9c66-a74aca1e4f78

the second book i want to read this month is Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio. this book is actually part of a series that was recommended by the same person who recommended The Spear Cuts Through Water (hi mishal if you're reading this), so i'm very excited to read this. content warnings and description here: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/00dcdfc6-b4c8-4513-9023-58127155412c

i think my intense eurovision obsession has mostly passed now, and i can devote more time to reading, so hopefully i can finish a book this month!

anyway i hope anyone else reading any books this month reads something good
