Reading Roundup Wrapup: August 2018

Pick of the month: The Will to Battle by Ada Palmer. Even when I don't quite get it, Professor Palmer's Terra Ignota is compellingly readable. It's definitely not so much a series and much more one long novel in four long parts, so I look forward to seeing how it all winds down with the last installment in 2019.

It turns out that watching a newborn is nice for reading, but hard for reviewing. It's easier to read with a sleeping baby on your lap than it is to blog. (Though I am writing this with a sleeping baby on my lap!)

In other news: I have a reviews of Big Finish's most recent Paul McGann epic, The Eighth Doctor: The Time War 2, and of the series 10 Bernice Summerfield finale, Secret Origins, up at Unreality SF.
