The Redemption of Time [book, audiobook, garbage]

 The Redemption of Time [book, audiobook, garbage]

GOD THIS BOOK SUCKS. WHEN THE THREE BODY PROBLEM SERIES ENDED A INTERNET FAN FICTION ABOUT IT GOT POPULAR AND THEN GOT BOUGHT AND OFFICALLY RELEASED AS A PART OF THE SERIES AND JESUS CHRIST IT'S BAD. IT'S LIKE A JOKE ABOUT WHAT THE WORST POSSIBLE FANFICTION IS. LIKE, DID YOU NEED THE SERIES TO BE MORE CHRISTIAN? DID YOU NEED SINGER TO HAVE A SEX SCENE? DID YOU WANT THE CONSTANTINOPLE PROSTITUTE WOMAN TO BECOME A GREEN LANTERN? DID YOU WANT A BUNCH OF MINOR CHARACTERS TO TURN OUT TO BE SECRETLY SUPER IMPORTANT? NO? ME NEITHER. 

PS. I FEEL LIKE THE WHOLE APPEAL OF THIS IS THAT TINY-SOLARIANS IS A GOOD EXPLANATION AND FITS THE SORT OF NONSENSICAL BIOLOGY THEY HINTED AT AND WORKS PRETTY WELL THEMATICALLY.  I ALSO THINK SOPHON AS ANIME CYBER NINJA SUCKED BUT THEY TIED THAT WITH THE CREATOR BEING A LOSER WITH NO FRIENDS AND THAT FELT AUTHENTIC, LIKE OH YEAH, THEY DESCRIBED HIM AS 100% A GUY THAT WOULD JUST MAKE ANIME GARBAGE IF HE HAD TO HELP DESIGN A ROBOT

 Encanto [movie] I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE THAT WAS WAY TOO UNFOCUSED TO BE A GREAT MOVIE. LIKE THE WHOLE OPENING SONG WAS A JOKE THAT THEY WERE INTRODUCING TOO MANY CHARACTERS THEN IT FELT LIKE ALL THE ISSUES EVERYONE WAS HAVING WAS SUPER LIGHT BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY CHARACTERS. LIKE THE WHOLE "I HATE MY SISTER/OH I'M SO MAD I MAD A CACTUS/ACTUALLY I'M HAPPY NOW" ARC IS LIKE A MINUTE OF SCREEN TIME FOR NO REASON.  PS. I FEEL LIKE REWRITING IT SO ANIMAL KID WAS HIDING UNDER THE BED MORE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE GRANDMA WOULD HATE HIM IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD POWER WOULD HAVE MADE THE CONFLICT SEEM LESS PULLED OUT OF NO WHERE. LIKE A GRANDMA HAVING TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS REASONABLE BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.

Magicats! [book]

 Magicats! [book] Space-Time for Springers : This is just "my cat is sad" but wacky. A kitten convinced it will grow up to be human.  The Game of Rat and Dragon : This is some real extreme nonsense 1970s sci-fi. Things from the dark eat you if you travel through warp space, but human brains are too slow to react to the millisecond attacks, so they have to make psychic entanglement with strong hunter cats. There is vague romantic undertones to this.  The Cat from Hell: Oh, it's that stephen king story.  It's that thing from the tales from the darkside movie. The one king doesn't know how cats or mouths work.  Out Of Place: I don't remember anything about this story and have just reskimmed it right now and still can't tell you anything about it.  Schrödinger's Cat: I absolutely love Ursula K Leguin, but oof, this book just didn't work. It has a strong feeling of a metaphor based on some not quite right 1970s pop understanding of physics. Maybe it'
