having a bad day in a bad week in a bad month in a bad year, and today i finally finished exordia by seth dickinson. not sure how to feel about that timing, boys!
#to be clear it's an excellent book#for being unlike baru cormorant in about 394857345 different ways#it is very much written by the same person#like. condensed. distilled. holy fuck.#which is also somehow thematically appropriate#but it also has the same flaws as baru but like. amplified.#i started reading it not long after it came out and just sort of petered out#i stopped less than halfway through because while baru became a slog in a way that i was more than happy to devour#exordia was not for various reasons but mileage may vary#that said just like Traitor it ends with a fucking bang#well. in more ways than one.#in more ways than two i guess. in several ways perhaps.#and just like Traitor i do want to cry until i throw up#and maybe get punched in the face or something#i do highly recommend but i would say in a lot of ways it's a rougher read in terms of like body horror than even Monster was#but it does share a lot with baru in terms of content but does not have the luxury of its atrocities referenced being purely fictional
