“She tried not to think in capital letters. It was a bad habit. If you…” — Empress of Forever 📚 log(book)

I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

She tried not to think in capital letters. It was a bad habit. If you weren’t careful, pretty soon you’d find yourself Going to the Store to Buy a Carton of Milk—or worse, speaking German.

★★☆☆☆

Max Gladstone is an author I like a lot. He's half of the brilliance of Time War, and his Craft Sequence is amazing second-world urban fantasy. I went into this book curious how Gladstone would approach Space Opera, but confident I would like it – boy, was I disappointed. It took me the better part of a month to dig through this book, and it ust dragged on.
