Sam Vimes is an icon. This had so much commentary and was way before its time.

It’s been a while since I read the first 22 books in this series, and I had completely forgotten how funny and insightful Terry Pratchett is. Ended up docking a half star for a few dated references, but I really loved this one.

I can’t believe I haven’t picked this up before. Just a fun, nonsensical, good time. Think Terry Pratchett does sci-fi.

I hate giving bad reviews, but this did not work for me. Some of the elements felt vaguely offensive, and the writing was just not it. I did finish it, cuz I wanted to know the ending. Which was…. An ending.

I’m always interested in stuff about AI/robots and this didn’t disappoint! V interesting discussions about autonomy, personhood, domestic violence, misogyny and more. I especially vibed with the ending.

I’m probably too stupid for this book. I loved the commentary about the very real history of medical experimentation on Black people (especially women) in America, but the narrative style was over my head.
