I just finished book 3. Yep. I enjoyed the ride, but the plot seemed a little stretched the more things got expounded on. There was also some unnecessary filler that wore me out to read…

all the long-form expounding on every crisis, struggling, fighting, chasing puppy etc. scenes.

The premise of Thurman’s design seemed a little “out there”. Having a competition that each silo was unaware of and only one being allowed to survive seems ridiculous. Humanity is always going to fragment. As populations grow, expand to different territory, local customs and rites will evolve. Limiting things to only one silo is just unnecessary cruelty. The argument of needing the citizens to forget everything about nano tech, and bombs…also ridiculous.
Nevertheless, I still greatly enjoyed the books.
Ahhh. Good thinking. I hope it’s something that lemmy can figure out so we don’t have to do questions like this. I bet it’ll get easier in time.
I haven’t posted many pics, but the couple of times I did, the orientation was wrong. What did you do to get it to not turn it sideways?
Cute doggo btw.
I just finished book two last night. I’m enjoying the ride, but I admit that as the “how we got here” plot has unfolded in book two, I find myself a little perplexed. Maybe I just didn’t understand

Thurman’s original motive. His line of reasoning is just not connecting for me._
Nevertheless, the books are riveting and I find myself looking for any spare minutes to pick it back up and continue reading.
I think her issue isn’t that she’s paying more via fees and tips. It’s that the store is charging her more for every individual item. One would expect to pay the shopper and delivery person for their effort. But realizing that the store is capturing most of that AND charging you more for every item on top of it seems to be the problem. The shopper, delivery person and the buyer are all getting shafted.
