📚 I just finished reading The State of the Art
by Iain M. Banks

Some great short stories of the Culture. The exploration of various themes is quite engrossing. The discussion on whether to destroy Earth or not is excellent. The ending chapters were too confusing for me to understand.

My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars)

Just finished reading Ode to the Half-Broken by Suzanne Palmer, read by Traci Odom.

It was perfect. A story about a motley found family of humans, bots, and a cyborg dog. Half-broken characters in a half-broken world yet again on the brink.

The ending made me cry, but a good cry. An ending that was earned, but made me want more.
