Reviews and Comments

Time for a new series.

Going for the audio books again.

I'm excited!

Okay the ending came unexpected. I mean the fact it came so soon and not in a way I'm used to. More quiet. I like it! I like the whole book. Nice in-between reading.

I like it so far!

And it's nice to hear neutral pronouns casually used in a German translation, not even in a central character or as an explicit theme. Just like a random normal thing. Every book needs that.

It's just too annoying, I don't have unlimited time in this earth.

And the reading of the audio book is extra bad. Like why would you make them talk like machines from the 80s, this is bad.

I'm not sure if there will be a good ending that makes up for it but I fear there's not.

Do not recommend. Interesting world building aspects and neopronouns don't make up for the terrible love story.

After a very long break I'm finally finishing this one off by reading the last chapter about disability in popular college films and I'm once again appalled by US culture.

Not that we don't have enough shit going on over here as well, it just seems less ... in your face horrible.

I think this book is even more important for allo people to read than it is for aces. Seriously, if you never thought and learned about asexuality, this would be a great way to start.

For me personally it was not much new stuff. But there were still interesting and thought provoking bits here and there. And it got better towards the end.

I'm not doing star ratings but it's a worthwhile read!

Okay, I have no idea where this is going. Things changed and the worldbuilding is still interesting. But that's the only thing really.

The love stuff (now in the form of whining) is still annoyingly boring and it's like 90% inner monologue and self pity and repetitive... ugh. I'm having a really hard time not quitting.

A bit clumsy and obvious when it came to setting the social parameters with everyone that will be involved.

But I do enjoy the worldbuilding and how our two main characters get to know each other.

It is all very not dramatic so far, although there's a lot of potential. I'm curious to see if that's going to chance now they arrived on the planet.

Next audiobook

Second round!

I am reading US American books and then always want to complain about how US centric they are. But it sucks okay. How about you have a look around and acknowledge the rest of the world exists and your normal isn't a universally human experience. At least that.

Second round <3

It's intense. But I like the perspective of looking at the pattern and common experiences of refugees.

It's also painful because it's family history as well and humans and nations are just the worst, so ... yeah.

But I do like how it's written so far.

Part two since I enjoyed the first one. Audiobook again because it's really nice.
