Deuxième édition, première lecture, ça fait des années que j'avais envie de le lire, même en tenant compte certaines critiques.

I always forget how much Western Scientist Commentary On The Soviet Union there is. But also, the Soviet scientist, Vaygay Lunacharsky, is both an underdeveloped and underused character and it makes me sad.
@leifur do you know if we have this one squirrelled away somewhere?

The Laurel Lekfow narration is so well done. I wonder what other audiobooks she has narrated, because honestly I'm not having much trouble with her narration at all!

I think the reason so many young millennials and gen x'ers went feral over this book is because Ellie Arroway's childhood as a girl interested in tech and math but also kind of uninterested in school is so intensely relatable.

Listening to the audiobook while I emerge from migraine-brain land, narrated by Laurel Lekfow (what a gorgeous voice, she's great). I don't usually handle audiobooks super well, but I've read Contact before so I'm hoping that will help compensate with my slight audio processing issues!

Started reading this immediately after I closed Bookshops and Bonedust and I did like this better. The « Coffee Shop AU » vibe did not put me off (former barista, I don't find coffee shops cozy, it's a me problem, not a fanfic problem) and I liked all the characters though there was a bit of googling to figure out the contours of this fantasy world. Orcs are unmistakable, but I had no idea what a rattkin or a hob is, for example. I still don't know what the character Calamity is supposed to look like. But it didn't much matter, because I had a blast reading this, and would definitely read it again.

I really liked Satchel, and the author character was great too. And though I like a lot of the individual ingredients in this particular hot drink, there were parts of this that I stumbled over, I'm not entirely sure I can quite explain it. I wonder if it's because I read it before Legends & Lattes? Maybe I should have gone in order of publication, instead.

As someone who has never found the "Coffee Shop AU" genre of fanfiction particularly reassuring or cozy (blame it on the time I worked as a barista, it sucked) it took me a while to get to these but so many people have asked me what I think of this series as if it was a given that I've read them already, well, perhaps it is time to submit to these expectations.
