Welcome to Litsy!

This is a dystopian style story where they are stuck at the top of the mountain mainly mining to get food rations from the “line keeper“. Everyone here is unable to hear and they are now slowly losing their sight as well. Fei suddenly gains her hearing after a dream and she finds herself on an adventure down the mountain. She and her companion find more than they bargained for at the base of the mountain, and need to hide that they “cannot hear“.

Those three short stories about Anna Fang were so much better than my last encounter with the Mortal Engines world. Here we learn a lot more about Anna, about her past, how she became who she is, and what is important to her. To be honest, I've enjoyed reading these stories more than some of the main books 😅

The illustrations by Ian McQue are amazing, especially when it comes to the engines.

A melancholy, unsettling book that left me with more questions than answers.

You'll “never know what it‘s like here.”

That's pretty much how I felt. Is it speculative fiction? Magical realism? Female dystopian? Folk horror? A bit of all of the above? Maybe. Kind of. I'm not sure.

I was that strange visitor from Elsewhere in this surreal, particular world. In the end, I'm not even sure what to think.

Listened to this one with my husband while traveling this weekend. We both enjoyed it but agreed we‘ve enjoyed others from Kubica more. Still, it was nice listening together.

Still space porn despite the fact our favorite Geary isn't in this one. This one is about defending human colonies from predatory humans. Just as riveting for me as the previous books in the series.

This was like a long episode of Law and Order: SVU (a show that I love). A great thriller with a twist I didn‘t see coming, plus a (sadly) much needed spotlight placed on sexual assault victims and how they are treated (often with the alleged perpetrator not getting justice) by the public, by the justice system. It‘s a total disgrace. Got a decent #pantone2023 match, I think (#blueperennial), plus this is a #roll100 pick!

I enjoyed this one. It‘s a soft pick for me. It isn‘t my favorite McManus book but I will be reading her next book. They‘re entertaining and hold my interest.

Late on posting but this was one of my January #roll100 books. I‘ve owned some of the books in this series for years, but my mom finally bought me a copy of the first one. I‘m looking to fill the void that is Kinsey Millhone because I read that entire series last year and I feel like my best friend is missing. This was a solid start to a series. Looking forward to more #serieslove2023 #booked2023 #gifted

My #roll100 for the month of February. Looking forward to reading these as they have been on my self for awhile.

I love this series. Such well rounded characters, even the minor ones, and lots of plot surprises as well. I keep hoping things will get better for poor Ian.
