looks up. blinks blearily. scifi series review in the tags (not real review) (not verified) (i have been awake for a very large number of hours)
#ok i just finished reading the machineries of em/pire series#on 3 hours of sleep because it is the middle of exam szn and i had work at 8 this morning#and im also hashtag unemployed again (passes out dizzily) (my contract ended)#so maybe its all compounding but the third book PISSED ME OFFFFFF#i think its jedao 2 being so not!jedao and also cheris being mostly not!jedao#and introducing 2 whole different crews of speaking characters in the concluding book#that did not work for me.#the moth twist was interesting but not body-horrorish enough#kujen had SOOOOOOOOO much going for him but it didnt execute as well. like its implied that despite the horrid world he built it is in fact#one without hunger.#i wish we got to see that in book 1 + 2. as background. did i miss it?#also that drop in the middle of his lore about his first gift being a fucking. fridge. the immortality/something that never spoils.#made me insane. i wish we covered more his loneliness + abuse of jedao to accompany him + the psych surgery#but i concede the yaoi was in fact sufficiently corrosive.#ok on the other hand though i could NOT be pressed to care about the new crew on either jedao 2's side or inesser's#and i didnt like how brezan faded in and out of relevance#it was too unfocused. and i felt most of the new characters didnt have time to grow into their own skin AND were unlikeable (worse: boring)#overall. like brezan's sister...? WHY#also the math disappeared :(. maybe not a downside for everyone but it was sparse enough already and by 3rd it felt like a decorative piece#sad... i loved cheris in the second book but she felt so.. convenient here. like yeah! shows up and solves all problems 👍 hm.#the servitors too although i felt that they were too convenient since book 1. you are telling me NO ONE was talking to the machines???#my guy people will bond with a roomba.#the kujen/jedao went kind of crazy tho. mostly on the kujen side he is so deeply unethical!#ig for me it just wasnt convincing enough... like everyone started monologuing about killing kujen and i just. felt bad for him#didnt help he was the most interesting character in the book#SOOORRRY im salty i need to sleep. for disclosure i LOVED book 1 & 2 and ch 1 of book 3 set me up too good the only way to fall is down.#ok goodnight. kujen did everything wrong but i forgive him anyway
