"By making this all about me, I didn't stop to think about anyone else." The narrator has certainly summed himself up, there.

This is definitely different than I was expecting, more about a breakup than a relationship.

I've been curious about this. Intrigued by the opening.

A fascinating mix of humor and grimness in these stories. I was particularly interested to read "Wake Island", about a world where scientists attempt genetic modification to eliminate sleeping, with poor results.

I reread the first book a few months back (after watching the TV series). May not reread the whole series, but I wanted to at least get to ART!

I really loved following the migratory life cycle of the culture in "Seasons of the Ansarac".

I'm feeling mixed about this. There's more life in some of the scenes than others.

Neat premise for a collection of slightly connected stories.

Not expecting a plot development like that -- we'll see where it goes!

Enjoying the introduction to the first characters and the train.

Just fascinating how this is developing, answering some of the questions from the beginning but creating other mysteries.

I don't really know what's going on with all these narratives, but I'm fascinated!

Really started picking up steam midway through!

Enjoying how the characters are timelines are woven together.

Looking forward to seeing how the different character perspectives build up the story.

This is all effectively anxiety-producing!

So tense over how this is going to go wrong!

Great setup, gets right into the story.

"She was struck by the selfish thought that this was not fair to her. That she'd been in the middle of a different story, one that had nothing to do with this."

"Nora said, 'Every time I've gone to a gallery, the rest of my life, I've thought about the works that weren't there. Shadow-paintings, you know, that no one can see but you. But there are all these happy young people around you and you realize no, they're not bereft. They don't see the empty spaces.'”

A lot of pieces are coming together, both emotional and plot, and I'm sure there is much more to come.

Liking the characters and the two intriguing plotlines.

This is so creepy and strange, and I have no idea where it's going!

Tense and fascinating!

So far we have an Antarctic cruise that's sure to go horribly wrong somehow, and an excellent narrator, and I am in!

"I got my helmet on and opaqued it. The relief was intense... I love you, armor, and I'm never leaving you again." And I love you, Murderbot!

I've been wanting to reread this since watching the (excellent!) TV adaptation. Delightful to be back in Murderbot's head!

Intrigued, but I hope this is all leading somewhere specific.

I've heard both raves and pans about the way this story develops, so I'm curious to see how it works for me.

Almost to the end, and I hope things can turn out okay for these characters!
