This book started off reminding me of the 3 Body Problem, with Cherokee people instead of the Chinese. I had high hopes and was really enjoying the story... until the "impact" (about 60% in). After that the novel became very odd, dark, and left me disappointed! Despite the great beginning, "Hole in the Sky" deserves a thumbs down from me ?

Litsy, do you guys have some science fiction recommendations written by women? I have Ursula Le guin Hainish series that I plan on starting after I‘m done with Lilith‘s Brood. Anything appreciated 👽!! #sciencefiction

While it was fun to be back in this world again, the pacing was a little off and the plot seemed like it was disorganized. It was a funny and creative book, but not the work of genius that the first two books in this series were. It's still a pick and I enjoyed it.

My quarterly Owlcrate Science Fiction book is here. This time it is the new Ken Liu.

"People sometimes mistake their own shortcomings for those of society and want to fix the Cities because they don't know how to fix themselves

How could book predict the stagnation of mankind over 70 years ago! Mind blown. Love this series. Wish he wrote women better.

Hi everyone!! I'm very sorry that I've dropped the ball the last two months with the #ClassicLSFBC. Between work and some recent health issues, I haven't been on Litsy as much as I'd like and things got away from me. Unless someone else wants to take over, I figured we'd let the book club pause the rest of 2025, and start anew in January. Let me know what's the general consensus. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving (a little early)

I cannot recommend The Murderbot Diaries enough. So. Much. Fun. And the narration by Kevin R. Free is perfection.
