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.

As a quick note for those who prefer them, there is a superb audiobook for Luna available at Audiobooks.com (presumably through Audible as well, but screw Amazon).

We need an alternative tired of Amazon having a monopoly on audiobooks.

Not many readers here so far I guess. I read the entire series about 8-9mo back and really enjoyed them - McDonald does a great job with the world building and the characters. The big plot arc over the series has some pacing issues IMO, which seems common in McDonald's books, but otherwise the series is a fun read.

Is there going to be a discussion post for this or will this post act as that? I’m just about to finish it

This is the discussion post. Although We can change how that works if this isn’t an ideal setup.

Ideally, to me, it would be a separate post. But I know on Lemmy an old post isn’t a bad thing and the community isn’t huge so splitting discussions isn’t great.
