Read this the first time in 1988 - it had been a Christmas gift. At the time I didn't realize it was the first in a series. Couldn't put it down - and as I rushed towards the end I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how the author was going to tie up all the loose ends. Flipped back to the dust jacket and swore loudly when I realized I'd be waiting for awhile for a sequel.
Author does a wonderful job of ‘world building' - the detail in the story is fabulous, and the characters are well developed.

This recently has been released on audiobook - something I've been patiently waiting for, for quite some time. And again, the wait was worth it - it's as fabulous as I remember the 1st time I read it.

Really enjoyed this, the world building is well done and fun. The fourth son of the emporer finds himself unexpectedly on the throne. As he's learning the ropes, so are we.

The character names are an absolute bear to learn and get used to. I finally had the Wiki opened on the phone to keep everyone straight. Found at the 3/4 mark I was rarely cross checking. I will probably reread this at some point.

Murderbot rejoins the team from book #1 to help them out of a sticky situation. It's another fun quick read. I like the shortness of these little novellas - but am ready for something more 'feature length' in the form of a full-on novel.

Murderbot investigates. Fun fast read. I love the character ART

This one was a surprise. I didn't do a ton of research before diving in and thought it was going to be a time travel thing - and it goes a completely different direction. It's a fast read and I found it hard to put down.
