"The Three Musketeers," by Alexandre Dumas was Book Four of #haveread for 2025. Everyone "knows" this from films, comics, TV, or whatever, but the novel is great! This is what the word, rollicking, was created for. #bookstodon

The other day finished Book Three of #haveread for 2025, N. K. Jemisin's "The World We Made." I like her take on Lovecraft mythos and the characters are fun. Read the first one last year. Kind of weird reading it while everything... gestures wildly in all directions. In the afterword she points out why it will not be the intended trilogy. As Charlie Stross has written about, it is really hard these days to do current/near future politics or dystopia SF without getting run over by actual events.

Book Two of #haveread for 2025 was "Alien Clay" by Adrian Tchaikovsky in which he explored alien sentience again, poked a bit of fun at academics, and created a totalitarian regime that felt quite on the nose.
