Hugo reading.
This time for best series, which I don't usually read for because I've either tried the series and loved it or decided it was not for me and never got into it so there's no point. I've been meaning to read Thompson's Wormwood Trilogy for a while so this (1 week before voting closes, oy) seemed like a good time to start.
Rosewater sits in the interstices between my thing and not my thing, which I have a hard time explaining. It's a book I want to understand, but from the perspective of "what is Thompson saying about the world" rather than "these are characters I care deeply for". (This is also known as the "When the pov character is a dude being a jerk, I have a harder time getting into the story".) Especially if the focus widens, which Thompson says it does, I imagine I'll read the rest of the series at some point.
