jen_qoeRightio, now that LJ is remaining unborked, can catch up with today's proper 30 Days of Genre...
Day 29 – A genre novel you thought you wouldn’t like, but ended up loving.
Hannu Rajaniemi - The Quantum Thief
It's hard SF. I don't do hard SF. And yet... I landed a copy that had to be read for BFS purposes, so, I read it expecting not to understand word one... but, actually, it's quite an easy read. It's got an excellently conceived world, with some fab character interactions. The detective story elements hang together beautifully, it's brain twisting and has a thoroughly enthralling story. And, just generally, it's bloody fantastic.
