This book is so good. It makes me want to make friends with a giant rock and a swarm of mosquitoes. This is now my favorite Ann Leckie book.

I really wanted to like this book but it’s kinda meh compared to the others in this series.

Another surprise release from adding to a series I enjoyed.

I had no idea a new book in this series was in the works, but now I've got it and I'm already about half way through. No spoilers though – so far it's interesting.

In Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time" we saw his remarkable story of humanity's folly and brilliance as it spread across the galaxy, attempting to be it's own kind of god  – succeeding in unexpected ways while also failing spectacularly. In Elder Race he shows us a shorter and more humorous version of this failure as a holdover of an advanced form of humanity loses their ability to relate to humanity's successor, but really all they want is to feel connected to others and to belong.

I love this book and this series. I’m reading A Deadly Education for the second time, and it’s just as fun as the first time I read it. One thing I love about Novik’s style in this book is how she interleaves the background context so thoroughly into the unrelenting pace of the narrative. There’s so much more to love about this book - just read it!

I was looking for something "available now" to read on Libby from my local library and came across this – it's a fun and easy read!

Creepy, dark, and endearing. There were parts so gross I wanted to put it down, but Kestrel is so wonderful.
