Tak! reviewed Queen Demon by Martha Wells (The Rising World, #2)

Martha Wells: Queen Demon (Hardcover, 2025, Tor Books)

From the breakout SFF superstar author of Murderbot comes the remarkable sequel to the USA …

4 stars

I enjoyed Queen Demon slightly more than Witch King, I think, which is a good sign for a second book in a setting.

Like the first book, it's split into "present-day" sections where Kai and the gang are wise, powerful adults (except Dahin) navigating the reconstruction of the world and "past" segments where the primary characters are still meeting each other while they fight to stop the Hierarchs from remaking the world in their image.

I liked the introduction to new groups and cultures, the continued epicness of the plot, and the heightened exploration of certain of the characters' relationships. There's still plenty of stuff to wrap up, and I'm on board for the next installment!

Every land, every culture had people who might become monsters given the right opportunity.

I am torn between the overwhelming desire for a hot bath and an anger so intense I could bite through my sword blade.

The sun was high and bright when Kai rode into Benais-arik in Bashasa’s wake, their cadres on horseback around them.

Michael W Lucas: Run Your Own Mail Server (Hardcover, english language, Titled Windmill Press)

best email how to i've read

5 stars

Back in 2006 I wanted to self host my mail. After two weeks of feeling with a bunch of howtos from the linux documentation project I gave up. That was also probably due to me getting free email hosting from google. When that offer ended, I thought about self hosting again , this time documentation was way better. This book is huge howtos and covers everything email related. The protocols, the history. It also provides exemples, sequencing : what to do first and then. I've been using email and managing some email related domains for 25ish years. I've learned a lot and would recommend that every sysadmin reads this book.
