Oh shame. I knew it took me ~10 pages to get into the flow of her writing, and I struggled up til then at which her style suddenly ‘clicked’ for me and I was hooked
In terms of interest overlap: tentatively ask, thoughts on Andy Weir?
I think he’s a grade A++ plotter and a grade B- writer. On the other hand, ‘Project…’ was being narrated by the character, so maybe that’s the way the character writes?
Of all the writers I mentioned, I’d put Tanith Lee at the top for her prose. She can create an entire world in a few paragraphs.
Ah we are different then. I genuinely do not enjoy his writing, and find his characters all interchangeable and quirky because he says so. The science is tacked on like a chemistry teacher putting their kids to bed.
I’ll check out Tanith Lee, thanks for the recommendation. Please check out the Ej-Es story I linked too
I got Nancy Kress confused with Ann Leckie. I started Ancillary Justice and wasn’t impressed.
Looks like we don’t overlap much, but that’s cool.
Enjoy your holidays

I liked ‘The Martian’ and ‘Project Hail Mary.’
