    I really liked the Galactic Milieu series, and there is also a linked, 4 book series by the same author called the Saga of the Exiles which is also great (IMHO)

    Saga of the Exiles is a must read. The Golden Torc was my favorite in the series but they're all good.

    Thank you both for the recommendation.

    I'm going through Diamond Mask at the moment and am very taken with the series as well.

    I'll give Saga of the Exiles a look as well.

    Ripped through the Bobiverse, enjoyed the concept more than some of the stories. Will keep it going when next one comes out.

    this was not for me at all, I do hate first person perspective books though, this one reads like 'what I did on my summer holidays' at times

    Not as bad as Becky Chambers Angry planet - needed an editor to delete half of it. got to 50% and called it a day, so little happens for some many words.

    Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.

    Only about 5% into it and it feels like a mad cyberspace/metaverse romp is developing. It feels like something I should have come across and read a long time ago. I like the language and it absolutely has spiked my interest. Has a feel of a cross between Neuromancer & Ready Player One to it with humorous notes.

    Really enjoyed 'Long way to a small angry planet' though light enough stuff, loved the sequel, didn't enjoy the third book in that trilogy at all. May favourite of her stuff was 'To be taught if fortunate'.

    Just finished Ursula Le Guin's 'The left hand of darkness' which I found a bit of a slog. Very well written, and I can see why it is much lauded, but I was happy to turn the last page. Also finished 'The city we became' which was good but not as much as I'd hoped for.

    Currently reading 'Service model' by Adrian Tchaikovsky which is really fun romp featuring a robot butler facing some unusual problems. Also just started into 'The Testaments' as an audio book which is feeling a bit stilted but I'll see how it goes.

    @CalamariFritti really enjoyed Snow crash many years ago, have fun.
