@compostablespork Changing the biologist to not be Asian is the smallest violation. It's just not the same character. Not even close. I saw that you had picked up the second book #authority. Did you ever read the third book #acceptance?

@vector I haven't yet - but I definitely want to! Thanks for reminding me. I ogled the trilogy at the bookstore but couldn't bring myself to commit. Even though I'll probably want to go back and reread them all once I finish.

I feel like I've lost control of my reading list lately. I want to check the new #ssfbookclub poll options against my library's list and that hasn't happened yet. AND I want to read the rest of the Akata Witch series too. So many good books!

@vector Did you read the rest of the series?

@compostablespork I read the second book. It was strange. Like some Thomas Pynchon got layered on top of the Lovecraft from the first book. Looking forward to the third book but not going after it immediately. Got to pick up this months book before the month ends and I probably need to get back on doing the poll or finish building @survey so it can be automated.

@vector @survey
I agree - the second was VERY different from the first - different tone, different writing style. It made me very curious to see how the 3rd does or doesn't tie it together/ give a sense of continuity or completion. It made me more impressed with VanderMeer, showcasing his range. Very curious about what voice he uses in the 3rd book.
