It was fine. And I really wanted something to listen to. I'm kind of over fairy tale shenanigans, unless they are written by T. Kingfisher. I wanted more from this somehow -- more cleverness, more action, more plotting? The characters were pretty good, but I can't say that I care a great deal about them or want to know what happens next. Sorry, meh appears to be my main feeling, even though there's nothing fundamentally wrong with it. I did not like the use of Earth terms for things -- the Turing terminals, the Tesla lights. Cute, in theory, but it felt off for me, since this isn't an Earth based story.… (meer)

The sequel to How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse. After renouncing her title, Rory and company have taken up privateering on the frontier. They encounter a wreck which is filled with bodies. They also find a weapon that 3 cultures are willing to go to war to obtain.
Less about Rory and more about the large political picture, this book is quite different in flavor from the first. I found it to be more thoughtful than the previous book.

library book read 4/5/2023.

This is a cute version of Sleeping Beauty done with a bunch of SF- mostly Star Wars like- tropes. Rory Thorne is a princess who received fairy blessings at her birth and at 16 years old she must learn to usefully adapt these to help her escape political captivity.
The characters of this book are not well developed but the world-building is interesting and the alternate sciences are creative, Imagining arithmancers instead of physicists etc.

Series Info/Source: This is the 2nd book in The Weep series; there are going to be at least 3 books in this series. I got a copy of this as an ebook through Netgalley to review.

Thoughts: Compared to the first book in this series I felt like parts of this were a bit slow and long. I think that was because we switched POV between so many characters and backtracked some when that happened. I still enjoyed the story and characters but parts of the story felt very long.

This story starts with all our characters from the last book sent north to Windscar. Iari has been promoted and her team is sent to a set of ancient ruins near Windscar to explore rumors of dangerous arithmancy and supposed hauntings near these ruins.

I am really loving the characters, world and action in this series. Iari is a wonderful character and I really enjoy both Char and Gaer as well. It's been fascinating to watch these different alien species (and previous enemies) ally together and form steadfast friendships and loyalties to each other. The world building here continues to be fascinating.

This book really focuses on the ancient Kabal culture and a rebellion against the Aedis templars. The storyline about the Aedis nano-biotech being infected, and even possibly gaining sentience, is discussed here as well and that was a fascinating subplot to this book.

There is a lot of action in the story which was well done. I think the only thing that I didn't love about this book was how when we switched POV we were backtracking in the story at points. I also thought there were just too many POV changes. I do like hearing from different characters but this could have been done better, in a way such that the characters' points of view were woven together more smoothly. I am eager to see how this storyline continues though.

The writing is easy to read and engaging. I think what really keeps me involved in this story are the characters and the fascinating subplot about the nano-biotech.

My Summary (4/5): Overall this was slower than the first book in the series but still a fun read. I love the characters and watching how they form friendships despite huge differences. I also really enjoying this fascinating world and some of the concepts being explored here. I plan to continue reading this series and would recommend it to those who enjoy space opera sci-fi.
