Two chapters into _A Memory Called Empire_ but thinking I might bail. Too much exposition and explanation. Don't tell me anything! I don't want to understand *shit*. I should have to read it twice to figure out what's going on. #sff

@nev okay so the trick here is that by exposition dumping a bunch of things, that just expands the surface of things that can be left totally unexplained

@mcc @nev

I thought the exposition paid off later in the book as things accelerate.

@fansipans @emmah @mcc @nev yep, I think the dense setup is the price you have to pay for entering a rich strange world. Without it the rest wouldn’t have enough foundation to be plausible.
