This is one of the earlier novels that Bujold wrote, and it shows a bit in the prose, but not in the plotting. I think it’s much like Cetaganda in the premise – off-world adventure, Miles refuses to tell his superiors about what he’s doing (oh Miles). The setting of Earth I feel fairly neutral about. London isn’t that interesting, but neither is it a detriment. They’re more like Beta in terms of not letting people carry around deadly weapons, and their tube system is still very good (hooray!) Or maybe I overstate Barrayar’s allowance of lethal weapons – Miles is after all not a civilian and on his home turf.

Okay so. I have been (re)reading the Stormlight Archive series, building up to "Wind and Truth." I had previously read the first three books (and "Edgedancer," the novella), but did not read RoW when it came out. I was more than halfway through when bingo started so it won't be a bingo book, but #5 will be. ;) There is no way shape or form to concisely and coherently review a Stormlight Archive book, so instead I'll just do some "relatively" truncated ramble/bullet points by character.

Spoilers through this book; also for Mistborn Era 1, Mistborn: Secret History, and, uh, "Spinning Silver" by Naomi Novik. If you hate Brandon Sanderson and think I'm a total hack for enjoying it, that's fine too, you're more than welcome to unfollow and disdain me in peace!

( Science distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced )
I will start on book 5 soon-ish? I think there may be another spinoff novella in between?

Muezza wanted to go to sister's apartment to use her litterbox:

Me: *opens the door* there. Go. Shit.
Mom: CRANTZ
Me: It's okay, I was saying it to the cat
Mom: She's a good Christian cat!
Me: She really isn't

I need to do a deep clean in my room. Debating watching The Harlow Murder Club with Elly instead. We thought it was an episodic murder mystery but goddamnit it's a four episode season over an overarching plot. We need to finish it before the month is up so I don't have to pay for another month of bbc select.

I've been walking again now that the weather doesn't want to kill me and I forgot how good it was for my brain. Probably the only point I didn't want to throw myself off a ravine yesterday was the walk.
