Ok, I think I'm putting this down now - it has become a slog. I took a little break, thinking maybe I just needed a change of pace, but I'm just not into it.
I'm reminded a bit of when, having loved The Historian, I picked up The Shadow Land, also by Elizabeth Kostova. I spent much of the novel anticipating how the surreal elements were going to be introduced, only to eventually realize that it was just a "normal" mystery story (coincidentally also set in / revolving around Bulgaria).
Some of the concepts are intriguing, but they don't seem to be going anywhere (so far).

Another solid T. Kingfisher messed-up horror story. It has everything: a relatable protagonist, great writing, weirdos, and a twist.
It was obvious to basically everyone but the protagonist what was going on the whole time, but I feel like the point wasn't a big reveal of what was going on, but going along on her journey of discovery with her.

Chaos Terminal didn't reel me in like Station Eternity did, and I'm not quite sure why.
It could be that it mainly revolves around Mallory and the visiting humans instead of weird aliens, or that we already met all the weird aliens and CT doesn't give us much of anything new, or it could be that I just didn't like it as much. 🤷

My beautiful and talented wife Christine Love has published a science fiction novel!! It's about girls in space, doing hot girl shit (murder and revolution, I think? I haven't read it, I was waiting until it was finished. I'm gonna go read it). There are swords.

For launch week the book is on sale, but it was only $5 USD to start with.
An interesting mix of victorian(?) midwifery and eldritch mysticism. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as groundbreaking as Our Lady of Endless Worlds.
