I've finished Unconquerable SUN by Kate Elliott. It was an interesting read. It is not exactly my kettle of fish. It leans a little too heavily on the idea of royal birth and who is committed to whom for my taste. But the multitude of characters whose stories work together to blend into a very strong story still earns a solid thumbs up for me. Surprisingly, I was pretty able to keep the characters more or less slotted in the story when there are too many characters I find it easy to lose the thread of the main story. And some of the characters were really compelling. Perhaps tellingly, the named main character "SUN" is not the most interesting or compelling for me. Now that might be a strength or a weakness. I can't tell.
I'm onto our fellow Chronner, @Kerrybuchanan, and her first novel Knife Edge. I'm at chapter 9, and right now I think it is a real Cracker Jack of a Crime Thriller. Kerry has done some very interesting things in this novel. I intend to finish and review it. I'll share the review here.

I finished Lois McMaster Bujold's The Hallowed Hunt. I've read all the other stories set in the world and enjoyed them all, and unsurprisingly I also enjoyed this. The initial set-up did feel somewhat familiar from the two earlier novels with a protagonist haunted by their past finding themselves in a situation where they have to help protect others from a mix of political intrigue and supernatural events. I'm not sure Ingrey is as compelling a character as Cazaril or Ista are but I still found him an interesting protagonist and as always with Bujold there is a strong supporting cast, I think it might have been good to see more of the story from Ijada's perspective.
Although set in the same world as The Curse of Chalion and The Paladin of Souls it is in a different part of that world (and a different time-period). I think the Weald did feel a bit like a generic medieval fantasy setting but the shamans and how they interact with the divine powers introduced in the previous books were the most interesting part of the world-building. The pacing is slightly uneven, slowing down considerably after an eventful opening but the final section definitely picked up the pace again and I thought it came to a strong conclusion.
I think it is the weakest of the (for now) three novels set in the world but I still liked it a lot.
Next up I'm going to read Ben Aaronovitch's latest What Abigail Did That Summer.

Re. The Dragon Waiting
A paperback edition was republished recently. I read some rave reviews by people like Neil Gaiman. The history of how John M. Ford’s book came to be republished is fascinating.
I read it and absolutely loved it, even though (perhaps, partly because) you have to think about what you’ve read in order to understand what’s going on at times - apparently the author didn’t like having to explain everything in the text. I believe that the publisher is intending to release more of Mr Ford’s work if this one sells well. I hope it does, because I am keen to see more. What a pity that he didn’t write a sequel to this one, though I can’t begin to imagine where he would have taken the story!
Currently reading The Brothers Karamazov. It’s a weird mix of Eastenders and Christian philosophy. Interesting, entertaining, but also a bit of a slog at times.

My copy which I bought a few years ago is from the Gollancz Fantasy Masterworks series, but I'm not sure I've seen his other books for sale in bookshops. I should probably try to track down some of his other work sometime, which might be easier if they're also going to be republished.
The Pyramids of London by Andrea K Host
Really good. This is a re-read several years on and it is standing up very well. All the world building hangs together and the characters are excellent. Innovative mix.
The underlying world is probably approximately 1920s, or maybe a bit earlier. Electricity, gas lighting, trains, airships, really cyberpunky automata - a carriage towed by two mechanical horses - or the front ends thereof - Roman empire focussed on technology and backed by the god Jupiter (with his lightning) and an Egyptian one with vampires ascending to Egyptian afterlife. Set in an alternate London where the local gods are descended from Sulis, plus there are resident vampires, some of whom provide medical treatments arising from the symbiote in their blood. So you have three long barrows in the centre of London (trying to decide if it is a re-modelled Primrose Hill - but think that is too far north) plus gigantic pyramids where you currently have gigantic tower blocks like the Gherkin. I find it very amusingly done. Formal dress is Egyptian based.
The story follows Rian, whose genius brother and sister-in-law died recently in what was declared an accident, leaving her the guardian of his three children - plus viewpoints from the three children. Her brother was a noted maker of automata, very health and safety conscious, and neither Rian, nor her nieces and nephews believe it was an accident and they are investigating.
The story starts with Rian planning to bind herself into a ten year contract to a vampire who seems to be roughly on the Welsh borders from the description, as their only lead points to his luxurious estate. Things go rapidly sideways and get very interesting.
There is a sequel which completes the story.
I'm rather fond of Andrea K Host's books - self published, beautifully finished, and always a bit different in their approach. Some are sf some are fantasy.

Thought I would read John Scalzi's "Old Mans War" series after all the fuss about it, so I got all six books in a fairly cheap bundle from Amazon.
First two were good military sf, "Old Man's War" & " The Ghost Brigades", not a universe I'd like to live in but interesting just the same, the third "The Last Colony" was more political and did drag a bit here and there but finished really well, someone said it had a rather bumpy plot to which I must agree, so I gave four stars for the first two and three for the third.
However now we come to volume four "Zoe's Tale", my advise about this is AVOID THIS ONE LIKE THE PLAGUE AND RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!
What the hell was Scalzi thinking when he wrote this piece of drek, basically it's the third novel repeated all over again so no surprises at all, but through the eyes of a very annoying and boring teenager who has equally annoying and boring teenage friends, this is completely out of synch with the previous books and should not be sold as part of the series, but it wouldn't really work as a stand alone either!
There is nothing really new for the first 80% and what there is after isn't really worth reading unless your an absolute fanatic about the series, which I most definitely am not, this is really a Young Adult book in the middle of an adult series, plus it's very, very boring, the whole thing was mostly one big yawn, I gave up after ten pages and just skipped through to the end.
I hope the remaining two volumes are a hell of a lot better then this pile of rubbish!
P.S. In the first book there is a scene which came close to ruining the book for me, the aliens he was fighting were just so idiotically ridiculous and made absolutely no sense at all, why the editor left this in I have no idea, you'll know what I mean if you read the book, but apart from this stupid silliness it was quite a good read!

I quite liked Old Man's War - good concept and think I read the sequel but not the rest. Will avoid Zoe's Tale thanks.
I liked Electric Sheep - that had some really innovative concepts in and was funny in a dark way. I occasionally dip into Scalzi's work, must wander past what is available again. He is a bit of an occasional read for me, not someone to read one book after the other.
I don't remember the scene you are referencing. Will look out for it if I re-read.

I would echo your feelings on Zoe's tale. Sadly, for me, it got steadily worse after The Last Colony. The last two - The Human Division and The End of All Things - were serialised; the Human division is really a collection of linked short stories. For me it was so bad that I haven't even bothered with the last one.
I would say that his more recent Interdependency trilogy is a much better series.

Nearly at the end of The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey. I wasn't sure to begin with, but it's been great fun from around half-way onwards.
It's possible that the whole thing might fall apart if you look too closely or ask yourself too many questions, but if you sit back and enjoy the ride then it's absolutely fine.

American Dreaming by Dianne Liuzzi Hagan
Disclaimer: I have known Dianne and Ron for over forty years. Ron, Dianne, my wife and I have formed bowling teams, dined together, watched movies together, and shared our delight in watching both their daughters and our daughter grow into independent young women. Therefore I am not an entirely objective reviewer.
Dianne’s last book, To the Mothers of the Movement, With Love (2017; revised 2019 as Another Day in Post-Racial America) was a cry of distress and outrage at events and governmental responses to those events during the Trump Presidency. The first chapter of this book feels like an extension of that, the anger and fear of that book certainly exacerbated by later events including the insurrection of January 6, 2021, all compacted into a statement more concise though no less impassioned.
With the second chapter, Dianne’s focus changes, her memoir coming more to the forefront, each chapter named after the relatives most closely discussed within. These depictions identify family relationships, good and bad, and family tensions and dysfunctions (I especially commend your attention to chapter five about her Aunt Josephine for a sense of how complex interactions with family can be), laying the foundation for understanding the sources of her personality and beliefs, as well as depicting the America in which she grew to adulthood, the America which she came to understand views Ron with suspicion just because he’s Black. If the sources of her and Ron’s relationships with family and each other are laid out, so too are the sources of her fear and for this book, a plea to our better natures, to whatever fairness and decency we have in the face of an assault on the democracy this country could become with a good faith effort from its citizens.
American Dreaming is a thoughtful, frequently touching memoir of Ron and Dianne’s life together, of their love for each other, of the families they came from and the family they formed. This is not a happy memoir, but neither is it an unhappy memoir, though a sense of melancholy lingers over it. Rather, Dianne confronts the issues that has caused each of them, her husband as well as herself, to feel estranged from their respective families and at odds with the society around them while finding comfort and solace in the family they formed.

I just read Alone Against Tomorrow, by Harlan Ellison
This 1971 collection of Harlan Ellison short stories carries the subtitle Stories of Alienation in Speculative Fiction, and collects previously published SFF stories on the themes of alienation, isolation and loneliness. While it is not a 'best of' collection, a lot of Ellison's best work dealt in these themes, so the collection is a good one, gathering many of his famous works published prior to the end of the 1960's. Among the most famous stories are I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream (1967) and "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman (1965). The former of these is a very well known SF story, providing genuine horror - and if you've not read it, seek it out (it's widely available in many SF short story anthologies). The latter is more whimsical and jokey, but is highly effective. Both these stories won the Hugo Award and "Repent..." won the Nebula as well.
The other stories in the collection span from 1956 through to 1969. It might be assumed that the more well known stories from the mid-late '60's would be the finer work here, but in fact some of the older stories are very effective. As a tale of isolation and the loneliness of deep space the tale Night Vigil (1957) is successful and enjoyable. Likewise, The Discarded (1959) and Are You Listening? (1958) worked well for me.
Overall, this is a pretty strong collection. It is out-of-print currently (and not likely to be reprinted) but is widely available from used book sellers and easy to find on sites such as eBay. All fans of SF should read Ellison now and then, perhaps, as you're reminded how inventive and striking SF short stories can be. Ellison doesn't always hit a home run, and in any collection there will be stories that don't satisfy, but his batting average is pretty good, and when he's good, he's very good, of course.

Groff Conklin "12 Great Classics of Science Fiction" (1963)
At the time of publication none of these had been anthologised, but of course several have been since. For me, the standout story is Cordwainer Smith's "The Ballad of Lost C'Mell", but all are worth reading if you're into stories of this era. I was also pleased to read Zenna Henderson's "Things" as it was new to me and I always find her stories rewarding.

The Only Good Indian by Stephen Graham Jones. Jones is Native American and this story incorporates Native American life. Jones' acknowledgements mentions Joe Lansdale as an influence and I think it's fairly easy to see that in Jones' writing. Fifty pages in and it's very engaging.
Transfigurations by Michael Bishop - desperately disappointing SF Masterworks book.
Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa - not quite what I was expecting/hoping for but largely my own fault!
Permafrost by Alastair Reynolds - This excellent little novella from Reynolds presents one of the more plausible takes on time travel that I’ve ever come across. In an ecological post-apocalyptic future, the only hope for the survival of humanity is to somehow get some plant seeds from pre-apocalypse times. Reynolds presents a plausible time travel scenario without too much techno-babble combined with characters easy to empathise with and a story well fleshed out despite its short length. The plot moves along at a cracking pace and it’s easy enough to finish the book in a single, very enjoyable sitting.
[sorry, can't seem to add any bold type or links for some reason; reviews of the first two are in Transfigurations by Michael Bishop and Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa ]

Last month I mentioned I was going to look for big-ideas SF to read and I tried but I'm not sure I managed.
I'm expecting to have a busy couple of days and I'm away from home all weekend so I won't be reading much in the few remaining days before this thread closes, so here's my reading done this month:
Spell Hacker, by M.K England - YA(?) second-world urban fanasy magic/tech thing - A lot of teen angst in this one. I enjoyed it but it didn't blow my mind. Read this at the end of March but wasn't finished when I posted in the March thread.
The Dark Side, by Anthony O'Neill - SF - A murderous android on a rampage across the dark side of the moon, a new police chief just up from earth settling in to handle it and the corruption and decadence of the company settlements and a string of other murders on the lawless dark side of the moon. - Quite violent, wild west but in space, definitely SF but not so much on the big ideas. Recommended if you like that sort of thing, satisfying.
The Vanished Birds, by Simon Jimenez - SF - This one manages to be both big and small in scope. It's intimate in its characterization but covers a lot of ground in a universe with good-but-not-great FTL. (It'll get you there but it still takes a long time and you're subject to time dilation.) The book centers several different POV characters and jumps to flashbacks and back and forth in space a bit so isn't a simple read but ultimately pulls everything together for a gut punch of a conclusion. Some big ideas but they're more about family, memory, and human relationships rather than space and the cosmos. I'm glad I read it but it didn't scratch the itch.
Vagabonds, by Hao Jingfang - SF - Mars sent a group of exchange students - the first since the war with Earth - to visit Earth and now they're on their way back, thinking about what they've learned and trying to integrate back into Martian society. A lot about society, social and economic systems, memory (again) and human relationships (again). This one also jumps between POVs and flashbacks, some interesting tech but ultimately it's not what I was looking for. I'm a little past halfway through and it's slow going, had to return it to the library and am waiting for it to be available again.
Ancestral Night, by Elizabeth Bear - SF - Getting closer but still not quite what I wanted (yet?). I'm in the first 1/3rd of the book just started this one last week. We're out of the solar system and all over the galaxy and there's a lot of aliens out there too and everybody has FTL. Seems to be a single POV and so far centered on a salvage ship and pretty linear. The story is just getting started and I'm not sure where it's going yet but it's not big ideas yet...
Coming up I'll be finishing Ancestral Night, after that I'm not sure. I'll finish Vagabonds when I can get it.
ETA: I've come to understand that despite what I implied above, Saturday is not the 31st! Friday is the last day of April please plan accordingly.
