marcicat(Much safer to call it an update than a recommendation, phew! I'm interested in charting my own reactions to the audiobook experience, since it still feels very new and exciting, but they're not *recommendations* really. More like: I listened to this! WHAT?!? I have thoughts about it!)
This week's EXPERIENCE (and what an experience it was): A Memory Called Empire, by Arkady Martine
I found it a slow starter, but decided to listen to 20% of it before stopping, and by the time I was three hours in, I was interested enough to keep going. By the time I was 12 hours in, I was all, 'BUT WHO WILL BE THE NEW EMPEROR!?!?!?!?!' So, uh, things escalated.
There's a second book, which is on my list for the future (ALIENS!), but after ::waves hands towards plot:: all that, I was ready for something more relaxing first.
