the problem with reading this was that it's a direct sequel to Network Effect and because i read so much of Network Effect while in jury duty my memories of that book are wholly combined with my memories of a jury trial i didn't actually get picked for (and that i would have contributed to a hung jury if i had been)
look sometimes murder is justified ok!! talk shit get hit!!!
didn't realize it wasn't as much of a novella as the others and i was in my bed reading it going, i thought these were shorter?
definitely had better pacing than network effect but maybe that was because i was happily warm in my bed and not freezing my ass off on a jury duty bench*
*just looked it up and it's twice as long as the novellas but like 60% the length of network effect and i feel like this works. nice length for exploring caves and once again almost dying. classic
