Bad guys reveling in being bad guys. Gore and murder aplenty. Lots of grim humor and I loved Tierenach and the Vampire Lord.

@BethM I'm sorry I never got a chance to read your #lmpbc book last month and felt really bad still holding on to it so I've sent it back to you unread. It's been really hard for me to focus on physical books lately 😔
You should get it by Monday

BethM Seriously no big deal! 1y

so-so

#LMPBC
Oooooof, this was so disappointing! It had all the ingredients for a rip-roaring space adventure, but unfortunately it just didn‘t work.

What I liked:
- character diversity
- spectacularly creative world building
- good blend of humor & action
- pacing/tension

Problems:
(cont‘d)

CSeydel - the MC‘s redemption arc was forced and not believable; I was never on her side/couldn‘t get past her previous atrocities
- plot (and dialogue, at times) was contorted to hammer political points rather than letting the story unfold and letting readers grasp the political points organically 1y

CSeydel @BethM @Johanna414 @peanutnine I don‘t want to spoil it for Sara but if those of you who have read it want to discuss, feel free to comment … I have some unresolved questions 🫤 1y

CSeydel For instance, it was bothering me the whole time, how did Jenny get control of Gary‘s ship in the first place? Did I somehow miss that? 1y

CSeydel Also, I found it very hard to believe that, Jim being as awful as he was, that Cheryl Ann would have ever married him! I get that he represents the “entitled old white men” who get everything handed to them without earning it 🙄 but I think the story would have benefited if he had been a little more nuanced character. 1y

BethM She won it from the bar owner. And previous to that she basically stole it when she kidnapped Gary. I agree Jim could have been more nuanced, but people marry shitty people all the time 🤷‍♀️ 1y

Well Gary is certainly nothing like the unicorns 🦄 my 5 year old loves so very much! I can't say that I loved this, but it was definitely entertaining! I will get it in the mail ASAP #lmpbc @cseydel @peanutnine @bethm

Johanna414 Also, I haven't been able to download the Litsy app on my new phone and have to use the web version. For some reason, it keeps spinning my photos sideways... 🤷‍♀️ 2y

BethM I can‘t say I loved it, but it was nuts and I was enthralled 😂 2y

CSeydel I‘m looking forward to it! Sounds like it will be different anyway 😃 2y

Johanna414 @CSeydel I forgot to post the other day, but this is in the mail & on its way to you 2y

CSeydel @Johanna414 terrific, thanks! 2y

My brother is visiting for the first time in years, so my reading time has been seriously limited in the last couple weeks... I am slowly making my way through this wild ride of a book - and sneaking in a few chapters during middle school state testing today. #lmpbc @bethm @cseydel @peanutnine

CSeydel Take your time! I‘m glad you‘re getting to reconnect with your brother. There will be time for reading. 2y
