What I'm Reading
Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, by Lois Macmaster Bujold. In which there is a marriage of convenience and intrigue and such. It's about what one would expect, in that it's entertaining reading and I'm enjoying it very much but it's not surprising material. I'm mostly loving the uneasy stepfather-stepson relationship between Ivan and former-spymaster Simon Illyan, both revolving around the strong neutron star of Ivan's mother Alys.
I'm also reading through Homestuck, which was at 5700 pages in January. So. That is a thing that is occurring.
What I Just Finished
I finished the Kate Daniels (Ilona Andrews) series, except for the sidestory book about Andrea. Also Generation Loss by Elizabeth Hand, featuring a character I should have adored (bisexual bipolar punk photographer!) but did not (with extra rape culture!) but that I ground my way through because the language was gorgeous.
What's Next
I'm starting the Kameron Hurley book God's War, about an ex-assassin trying to collect her bounty in the midst of an unending holy war in a desert dystopia. Next up after the Bujold book will be, I think, Hearts in Atlantis by King. That'll be a nice long book that's easily broken up by weekly episodes of Scalzi's book The Human Division.
