There are many reasons why I totally <3 Ione (have I mentioned this before?), but the moment were she and Tranquility broadcast Greetings to the Jupiter consensus with just a smidgen of smugness is most definitely amongst them.
That said, The Naked God is not such a fun read as the first two instalments - I think this may be a psychological thing, where I'm trying not to get to the bit where it all goes completely stupid too quickly. I mean, it's not wholly without redemption, obviously, but it does very definitely feel a step below what went before.
Whereas the Pandora's Star/Judas Unchained duality is pretty consistent with the rocking all the way through.
In other news, it's Sunday evening in Hull (and, I concede, elsewhere across most of Europe), and Mali and I suffered a mild sprinkling of rain on our last perambulation about the Avenues. It gets dark early, y'know, and that only gets worse next week :-(
Having been meant to move office for some time now, as part of our shift to The Brave New World, I'm expecting that this coming week will see the transition finally effected. But then, I was expecting that of last week, and we know how that turned out...
