It's a rom-com, which I don't generally read, so I can't judge if it was actually good or not. Personally, it felt too much like one of those K-Dramas, where a poor girl meets super rich guy, who is super handsome, and she keeps thinking about her all the time. Except this one has a Vampire. Not a big fan, but overall it was a fine time pass.

Any favourites in SF, from this year's reads?

[–] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The first three of Dennis E Taylor's Bobiverse tales, definitely: easy reads and the most compelling that I have read for a long while. The next ones may be too - I just decided to take a break before continuing.

Also Dan Simmon's Hyperion for it's breadth of styles if nothing else.

The early Murderbot diaries by Martha Wells. After the first five there were some elements that started to get a little repetitive, so I took a break there. I expect to enjoy them again when I restart though.

And then The Road, of course, which is by far the most literary, and probably The Player of Games so far from the Culture tales.

The least favourite would be This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, which I found naïve and unconvincing.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Dan Simmon's Hyperion is often mentioned here, should move them to top of my wishlist.

Working my way through Hyperion again! Never finished it, lost interest pretty fast, but now I want to see how it all ends.
