Cetaganda by Lois McMaster Bujold

As I continue through the interminable Vorkosigan saga I’m still struck by how the tone has been changing, from the original intense and dark tone of the opening books towards something like a James Bond book - fun, a bit silly, full of intrigue, but ultimately not reaching for greatness.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

Maelstrom by Peter Watts

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
