I'm continuing to make progress on the massive second chapter of Kvilhaug's The Seed of Yggdrasill, but I've not finished it, and there hasn't really been a satisfying break point to divide the chapter up into multiple posts. So, instead, I've shared my thoughts on Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun, which I just finished reading the other night. The short version is that it's very good and has a heck of a lot going on there. If you like epic, sweeping speculative fiction with great scope that is nevertheless well-written and full of well-realized characters who grapple with genuine moral issues, you'll like this book. Strongly recommended.
[Main Blog Post] [Books] Military Fiction
Aug. 6th, 2023 10:37 pmIn a comment on the last Ecosophia Post, I shared some recommendations for "military fiction," and the requester, Justin Patrick Moore, suggested it might make a good blog post. Well, what do you know, the second chapter of Seed of Yggdrasill turns out to be the length of a short book and my kids and work were a bit of a handful this week, so I expanded and edited the comment a bit and share with you now my thoughts.
As always, I'd love to hear any reactions, and for this one, I'd welcome any recommendations for stuff I missed that you've enjoyed.
