The Tyrant’s Law by Daniel Abraham

As I continue to tear thru this series I continue to think the same thing I have all along, that it’s funny to see a fantasy world inherit so many world building elements from the Malazan series while being so utterly different in most other ways; furthermore I can confidently say that this book lives up to the bridging promise of the previous, with some outstanding and deep character-driven moments.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024)

Creepy slow and artsy, well-acted altho some of the monologues and artistic choices tried a little too hard, overall just different  which I really appreciated, deep and heartfelt and not afraid of some discomfort.
