The Last Supper Before Ragnarok | Cassandra Khaw

pick

Another book finished for #Scarathlon2022 and one I specifically chose for #Necronomathon.

In this final installment of the Rupert Wong series, the Malaysian cannibal chef and friends go on a road trip in the US to prevent the end of the world. Gods, monsters and other strange creatures (including an embodiment of the Internet) show up everywhere.

Clearly I‘m behind writing about what I‘ve read, my sister reminded me by asking if I‘d read this one as she picked it up yesterday and liked the cover...did I read it 😆 yes and I loved it!

Where the Stars Rise: Asian Science Fiction and Fantasy | Fonda Lee

I‘m packing for an Airbnb stay in a national forest & my overpacking demons are having it out. I‘m trying to NOT pack these books. I‘m bringing a kindle but won‘t have WiFi. I‘m such a mood reader - what if I don‘t have a book for whatever mood I find myself in? Agghh

BehindthePages I'm the same way when I travel 😅 4y

atla @BehindthePages haha, glad I‘m not alone! I just had a realization that if a client was having such a struggle with this, I‘d be like “you‘re going for a relaxation trip.. why are you trying to strictly limit your access to enjoyable reading (when there‘s plenty of space) because you hate that you‘re an overpacker? Sometimes we have to work with what IS versus what we want to be.” So now I‘m bringing books and leaving my “cosmetics” at home 🤣 4y

The Last Supper Before Ragnarok | Cassandra Khaw

Finished this book pretty quickly.

Wonderful story but a little bit...mmm... rushed? And it's also like the third part of ONE book so you don't have “in the first two book our hero did this and that, let's remember it“. You just open it - and boom.

But I really like Cassandra Khaw style-voice-etc.

Should have been reading first two again.

Sea Is Ours: Tales from Steampunk Southeast Asia | Jaymee Goh, Joyce Chng

I don't really know much about steampunk but I know one of the editors of this book through Twitter and I'm glad I gave this a chance. A short story collection steeped in Southeast Asian history and mythology, featuring some rocking machines.

As with most short story anthologies, some of the stories were bigger hits with me than others, but none of them were total clunkers. I read them slowly over quite a while so that I could enjoy and process each one.
