Medium strategy showing its strength all of a sudden.

What a shitshow. Can’t wait to see what the ratio of safety car laps to racing laps ends up being.

I really enjoyed Excession because we get to see how the various Minds deal with eachother, and how they perceive eachother. The concept of putting up with idiosyncratic Minds until they do something verboten was neat.

Matter (I had written Inversions earlier but I’ve edited it because I misremembered which book had which plot) was cool because the book is kind of structured like the planet it takes place on. The story starts small in the core of the planet with the royal assassination, then opens up to include the wider universe.

Ultimately I found all the books enjoyable in some way. The two examples I gave are just the first things that sprang to mind.
