And it was worth it, I enjoyed it in a way I didn't expect to - thanks for the review prompting me to take the plunge!

Like Kezzie, though, I wasn't a fan of The Miniaturist, so I think I'll definitely skip The Muse. If you like Becky Chambers, by the way, you might want to try The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu. There are a few spaceship stories in there, and his characterization is excellent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940545051361113340.post-17239343577217425262017-02-03T18:49:05.309+00:002017-02-03T18:49:05.309+00:00That is an impressive amount of reading!
