I've been reading The Unbroken by C.L. Clark. It's well written and I like the worldbuilding, but it's a bit of a slog because I'm having hard time actually liking any of the main characters.

I looked this one up, seems like others agree with you, but apparently it picks up soon?

Loveable characters? It's complicated: 49% | Yes: 36% | No: 14%

I'm curious what gives a book a lgbtqia+ tag though...

Strong female characters and romance between them

The story pacing definitely picks up after the first half, but it's hard to care about the faith of the characters when you're constantly annoyed by their decisions :)

The world building, culture etc is very much on point though.

Just finished “god is disappointed in you” by Mark Russell which was very good and am now about 1/3 through “dark matter” by Blake Crouch which I’m enjoying a lot so far.

That is an interesting book by the description of it. As someone completely devoid of religion, I still find that an intriguing concept to just summarize the entire bible. Do you know if it is new/old testament? Pre/post Constantine?

It’s basically a synopsis of the 66 books/letters that make up the Old and New Testaments, each given a few pages or even just a few paragraphs. I’m not religious myself but I would only recommend it to a person of faith with a sense of humour; parts were pretty blasphemous but very funny.

Currently reading Wool by Hugh Howey. It’s the book that Silo is based on so I was hoping to see how close it is to the show and also read farther than the show got to since season 1 just ended. It’s in the scifi dystopian genre. I would recommend it yes@[email protected]

The Last Watch by J.S. Dewes. It's a pretty good sci-fi set in space. I am about 40% complete and so far I have been enjoying it. At this point, I would recommend it.
