How Far Would You Go to Protect What is Important?

Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer

by 4 Comments

Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be Ere one can say “It lightens.” Juliet to Romeo, Act 2, scene 2   Last year, narfna reviewed Too Like the Lightning and requested that we all read it. I was intrigued, but the book wasn’t close enough to my price point of free. Fortunately, Tor.com offered it as a free download in March. I snapped it up. Narfna summed up her initial reaction to the […]

Okay, but don’t read this book, it’s not safe.

Seven Surrenders (Terra Ignota , #2) by Ada Palmer

by 11 Comments

Just as a heads up, I will be calling the police at the end of this review to report a crime, because this book and its author tried to murder me. Does anyone know the legislation about this? Can I have a book arrested for assault? Okay, but seriously, this book is a monster. There were several points where I nearly threw it across the room, I was so upset. And then I kept going and almost immediately it became clear why Palmer did that monstrous thing that I hated and that made me want to go to my bed […]

When Utopia Goes Pear-Shaped

The Will To Battle by Ada Palmer

by 3 Comments

Well, my first review of the year, and I have picked a bit of a doozy! Not only is this book series quite unlike anything else I have read, I’m starting my review with book three of four. (But, this is the first book I’ve finished reading this year, so I went with it.) I’m going to have to try to do my best to tiptoe around the spoilers while still giving some kind of picture as to what this series is about. Let’s see how that goes: I first came across Ala Palmer’s Terra Ignota series when I was […]

Too Like the Lightning (Terra Ignota, #1) by Ada Palmer

by 9 Comments

This might be the weirdest book I’ve ever read. Well, the weirdest book I’ve read that I actually ended up enjoying. I might have to think a while before officially giving it that award. My instinct is to put this review away and not think about it for weeks. I just want to sit with the story, let it brew and fester in my mind a little bit. But I know if I do that, I will forget everything and end up floundering around when it actually comes time to write. I might be more eloquent about the book’s larger […]
