I bought the book when it came out, but haven't read it yet. Then I bought the audiobook narrated by Cara Gee when it was on sale at iTunes. Now I have to choose.
I approach Kameron Hurley's books the same way I approach Joe Abercrombie's books, expecting brutal and/or conflicted characters, blood-soaked politics, all on a canvas with a grand scale. Fun stuff!

As a replacement for March Madness, I nominate Million Mile Road Trip by Rudy Rucker

Tassie Dave wrote: "I love those old books that have the inbuilt bookmark attached to the book made out of material. I have a few of those still."Some of the newspaper comic strip reprints that I've read have a built-in bookmark. The publisher, Library of America, has reprinted Star Wars and Star Trek newspaper strips, with this convenient book design.
Silvana wrote: "Not keeping track at all since my Kindle and Audible app do it for me."The alignment chart I posted doesn't say anything about ebooks or audio books, but most ebook readers have a bookmark tool. I buy a lot of Kindle books and often switch between reading on a Kindle and reading on my phone. The bookmark tool has been useful for those occasions when switching back and forth confuses Kindle.
Does the Audible app offer any sort of explicit bookmark tool?
I guess I fall in the mundane Lawful Good square. Here are decades of bookmarks, not including the bookmarks still inserted in books I never finished and possibly lost forever...

MacMillan is holding firm for now.
Harry Connolly released One Man: A City of Fallen Gods Novel in 2019. Connolly doesn't get as much attention as other writers, but I find his books eventful and entertaining.

Gideon came out Sep 2019. I think the ebook embargo was four months, so it ended mid-January 2020. I don't know how long it takes for libraries to purchase additional copies, but the timing is poor for this S&L pick.As of Nov 2019, the Macmillan ebook embargo is two months across all imprints, not just Tor.
