Jules, reading commented on The Shadow Wand by Laurie Forest (The Black Witch Chronicles, #3)
These books are actually quite bad but I can't stop it's terrible 😂
Reviews and Comments
Hi I'm Jules,
I read a lot of disability related more academic stuff, anarchism and whatever else looks interesting or helpful. And then mostly queer fantasy, science fiction / speculative fiction to relax.
I read mostly e-books for accessibility reasons. So if you're interested in a book on my lists, just send me a DM. I can point you to sources or just send it over.
I'm also @queering_space@weirder.earth

Jules, reading finished reading Inklusion und Grenzen by Kathrin Blaha
Ja okay. Hab's gelesen. Vielleicht irgendwann mal nützlich aber das meiste war sehr nervig zu lesen. Das übliche deutsche akademische exklusive Gesabbel. Manche Beiträge schlimmer, manche erträglich.
Aber inhaltlich schon nützlich, schätze ich. Wenn man sich auf dem Level bewegen will.
I liked this a lot. Many of my thoughts and observations put into words. And then some more.

Jules, reading finished reading Postkoloniale Theorie by María do Mar Castro Varela
Das war ein Brocken 😅 Eigentlich muss man das zweimal lesen. Oder einfach nur schneller als über ein ganzes Jahr verteilt. Gerade das Kapitel über die Kritiken an Postkolonialer Theorie am Ende hilft sehr beim Verstehen und Einordnen. Nur hatte ich da viele Details schon wieder vergessen.
Sprachlich ist es sehr anspruchsvoll und lustigerweise wird das auch im Buch selbst wiederholt als Kritik an postkolonialen Texten angebracht. I agree.
Anyway, ich weiß jetzt trotzdem mehr und würde es nochmal lesen (wenn meine Leseliste nicht schon so lang wäre)

This book is not what I thought it would be. Not sure I like the ways it's told but it's interesting enough to keep going.

Started to read the e-book yesterday and I already like it. We are at 4 different storylines already. But I don't feel confused at all. It's very nice and easy to follow!

I didn't want to finish this because I didn't want to let murderbot go. It was a very good one again!
I want more.
And I'm going to read them all again.

There's a sequel and while I had mixed feelings about the book along the way, I really wanna know how the story evolves. I liked many things about this book, but it was a bit boring at times with all the political maneuvers. The style made up for it, because you have to think along to get things, so I never turned my brain off completely 😅

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.
