The Apostle of Melody
For some reason, I read that as The Apostle of Memory... which would also be a cool name! But yeah, I wouldn't have changed that name either.

Looks grey to me too. Nice find. 🙂
(Can't help about the image thing, sorry.)

I loved that show, so that's at least two of us 😁

The last four science fiction books I read. (I don't believe there are any spoilers)
I want to read Translation State, I've loved Ann Leckie's other books. But I have a bunch of other books ahead of it on my TBR.
Several of which are Adrian Tchaikovsky books, as it happens!
Right now I'm reading the last book in The Expanse series, Leviathan Falls. (I know, I'm late getting round to it.)

It took me two tries to read Artemis, I bounced off it hard only a chapter or two in the first time. Second time I finished it, but I definitely didn't care for the characters or the story anywhere near as much as his other two books - both of which I loved.

They're so good. I cannot praise this series highly enough.

Watch the First Episode of Sci-Fi Drama “Silo” Free
This series is so good. I loved the books, and was hoping the series would be a good adaptation. So far, it's more than exceeded my expectations.
I believe you can also watch the first episode free on Apple TV itself, if you want to avoid Twitter.

[D4] What builds are you guys running currently?
Barrage Rogue, but I'm just playing casually - still working my way through the campaign, and once I've finished that I'll likely be trying out some other classes. I'm in no rush. 🙂

It's on my list! I've only actually read a few of his so far (the Dogs of War duology, Ogres, and Walking to Aldebaran - plus a couple of short stories somewhere along the line), but have loved them all, so I definitely want to read more!

Yep, as a slow reader myself, it's both amazing and a little frustrating that he writes way faster than I could keep up with!
But that's a good problem to have, so I'm not complaining. (Much.)

Currently, Leviathan Falls, the last book in The Expanse series. I'm a little over halfway through. Which is a little bittersweet, since I've loved this series for a long time now, and I want to know how it ends... but also kinda don't want it to end.
Not sure what'll be next up, but probably one of Babel, The Kaiju Preservation Society, or The House in the Cerulean Sea, depending on my mood.

I read Under the Whispering Door not too long ago, so I think I know exactly what you mean. 🙂

Yeah, most of them are novellas, with a couple of full-length novels. They're all complete stories, though with ongoing threads carrying through, and best read in order.
Hope you enjoy it!

I was already a fan of the book series before the show came out - I forget how many of the books were out at that point, but I'd definitely read the first three at least.
So I came at it the other way around, especially with Amos. I remember when Wes Chatham was first announced as Amos, and I thought he looked entirely wrong for the role. But he completely blew me away with his portrayal. He brought so much depth and nuance to Amos, and made me utterly fall in love with a character that I'd previously been kind of 'meh' about. Wes is now my definitive Amos, and I just kind of mentally gloss over the book descriptions that contradict that. He's my favourite character now, though Camina Drummer (the show version) comes a very close second.
I didn't have the same trouble with Fred Johnson though. Neither version was a favourite or 'meh' for me.

I really liked Red Rising, and the other two books in the original trilogy. I also read the first book in the follow-up series, but found it a bit too dark for me (and I usually like dark!) I won't be bothering with the rest of them, but I might re-read the trilogy at some point.
