My wife and I had always planned to do a re-read of Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota series when the final volume was released. We're a little late getting started as Perhaps the Stars was released a few weeks ago, but I've settled in with the first volume, Too Like the Lightning, for my current read.
I'm not likely going to make my goals this year, so I am in no rush and am savoring all the language and philosophy layering this science fiction story. Media around the release of the final book have dubbed it "Hopepunk." I have no idea if I agree as the third volume did not end hopefully at all. Can't wait to see how it all plays out during the holiday reading season.
