V is excellent as always.
Going in blindish, I expected a bit more scifi based on the title - instead, I got a wonderful, wholesome space fantasy.
True to form, the characters really shine, and there's a lot for me to identify with in Avari. It was fun to explore a new setting, and although this time the plot didn't have the epic scope of The Beautiful Decay, I was thoroughly invested in the outcome.
Go read The Old Goat and the Alien!

This one just wasn't for me. I feel like it was one of those books that's all setting and no plot - and the setting was great, but I just couldn't engage with it.

Today, I want to talk about 🎲 Non-Player Character ✨
NPC is a novel about a highly anxious autistic person in their 30s who joins a tabletop role-playing group...and then all of them get transported to the world of their game.
It's cosy, it's queer, it has asexual romance, and it's very much about found family.

Content warning I don't have anything interesting to say without spoilers
This could have been titled The Radicalization of Lin Chong.
One thing that was striking to me was how almost all of the actors self-identified as working for the good of The Empire, but for some of them that meant the people in the Empire, and for others that meant this idealized abstract structure.
I appreciate that Lin's superhuman abilities were created/"unlocked" by a random experience she had, rather than heredity/Chosen One/etc.

It kept very much to the themes of the original: genocide, greed, betrayal, and the sheer amount of damage a few bad-faith actors can do in a system not designed to account for them

Also in exciting today news: my new book is out! Coauthored with @SparksMaths@mathstodon.xyz and @sam_hartburn@mathstodon.xyz, it's called "Maths: 100 Ideas in 100 Words", and what we learned from writing it is that a) there are more than 100 ideas in maths and b) 100 is not enough words to write about them, but we did our best:
