I look forward to hearing your thoughts on several of these, not least Artemis and Provenance

[flamebyrd]

I usually only post thoughts on request (unless I feel like I really have a lot to say on the subject) because I generally find posting reviews in public a harrowing experience.

I did post some vague thoughts on Artemis here, though: https://flamebyrd.dreamwidth.org/183268.html?thread=505828#cmt505828

I thoroughly enjoyed Provenance, although I don't have a lot to say beyond that. A very fun read, nice worldbuilding, and interesting (/hilarious) to see the Radchaai from an outsider's perspective.

Thank you. Those are pretty much the level of response I was looking for.
