Found myself juggling a bunch of non-diss books the past few days:
1/3 through La Belle Sauvage (Philip Pullman)
A chapter into The City and the City (China Mievielle)
… and The Strength of the Few (James Islington) just dropped into my Kindle, which means I need to re-read The Will of the Many!

Today’s conversation with PhD chair was mostly about being held to a higher standard because he knows I can do it. I actually don’t mind it - I’m glad to work with someone who cares about what I can/can’t do, and pushes me towards quality work.

I had to sit with this for a moment. Sam just distills what science fiction can do, in terms of scale and storytelling, and how it tells that story through Magic. I am just in awe.
In a parallel space between chaos and oblivion, two opposing faiths are warring over the fate of a dying star. #MTGEternities
