Welcome to Litsy!

Late breakfast and a very purple morning.

It's been a big day finishing off some books I've been reading, including this final volume in the Revenger trilogy. By the end we have some big questions answered and sense of just how far in the future this is. This entire trilogy has been good space pirate fun. Reynolds says he's done with the Mess sisters, but we'll see if in the future they aren't done with him. I'm really looking forward to whatever he writes next.

Tonight's dinner is apple wood smoked turkey breast with rice noodles made from purple rice with green beans. Noodles and green beans have a touch of garlic spread on it with pepper. Accompanied this evening with some hard sci-fi reading from Alastair Reynolds.

Sadly unsatisfying - a long slow space chase followed by a muddle of revelations that... don‘t really get resolved. This doesn‘t feel like the final book in a trilogy. There‘s still lots to love about the world-building and I dearly want an RPG in this setting, but while Reynolds may be done with the Ness sisters he doesn‘t convince me that the underlying story is even half done. #LitsyAToZ

‘The Night Clock, The Shadow Castle, The Labyrinthine, The Milk Churn, The Flytrap and The Croupier‘

And now I want to know all about baubles too. Or better, a Revenger rpg to explore them through 😍

‘...the Epoch of the Bauble-Makers, the Council of Clouds, the Glass Queens, the Incarnadine Multitudinous, the High Instrumentality...‘

AAAAAH don‘t tease me with historical world building you‘re never going to tell me, Mr Reynolds! Now I need to know about these Glass Queens and the Incarnadine Multitudinous 🧐
