Seemed like an apt time for a re-read of this book. I read it as a junior in high school, and I have a feeling that I'll grasp the political nuance a lot better this time around.

Food for thought considering today‘s events in the real world.
Also no real spoilers, but I‘m 100 pages in and there‘s already two significant deaths. Suzanne, you‘re trying for tears and will probably succeed.
Finished this book on vacation in Memphis. It was interesting. The 4 horsemen show up on earth and electricity and other things as we know it, stop working. Then they go away for 5 years and Pestilence shows up. He appears to only be riding throughout Canada and US. He kidnaps Sara and punishes her for a bit. She then starts to turn him a bit human and romance things happen. I‘m not sure if I‘ll read the rest of the books in the series.
This novel, about a prisoner sent to an alien planet, is nominated for the 2025 Hugo Best Novel award. It's another excellent story from the very prolific Adrian Tchaikovsky, who seems to write science fiction and fantasy with equal ease.

Violet is attending Comic Con where the actors from her favourite book-turned-into-a-film 'The Gallows Dance' are due to appear, when a freak accident transport Violet, younger brother Nate, & friends Alice & Katie into the story world for real. Now they are right in the midst of the struggle between the perfect 'Gems' & the 'Imps' (Imperfects) but their appearance derails the story & causes the death of 'Imp' heroine, Rose.
What I did I just listen to? - this is how I felt when I listened to this audiobook, it was kind of interesting I think 🤔

I didn‘t plan to read this this month but my library hold came in after months. 🤷🏻♀️ Given the “birthday parade” happening this weekend, perhaps it was kismet. Suzanne, you never disappoint.
This is a really nice short addition to the series.
Even though nothing really knew is happening it is definitely not unnecessary to read it.
I started crying in the beginning of the book and shedded even more tears in the end.
Was I delusional for hoping that everything turns out differently even though we know how the story ends 🥲
