Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald

We had a lot of selections to choose from this month and it was pretty close race between Luna and Annihilation. I am very excited to experience this book and enjoy the discussion.

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

Annihilation is our second place selection for November. We decided to choose a second book for people who want to have a little more variety and want to do more than one book in a month. I am looking forward to the discussion on this one. I saw the movie when it came out but am really interested to experience the story in book form.

So how was it?

We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month. At least I finished it last week. I'll leave this thread pinned for the rest of the month and next weekend I'll create the poll for the next book of the month. That poll will end on the last day of the month and the cycle will continue.

Feel free to include as many spoilers as you want in your comments as the post itself is marked as containing spoilers.

I'm hoping someone else could get started or else I will have to. 😅

Discussion thread for the latest installment of Pierce Brown's Red Rising series.

What were everyone's thoughts? I had some overall gripes regarding how some plot points from Dark Age were carried over, but overall I enjoyed it, particularly the siege and duel sequences.
