Right now I am on Murderbot Diaries book 5. So good. Martha Wells really captures anxiety and depression from an internal standpoint well without it being overbearing. The character growth of the main character over the series has been lovely to read. (ok so I'm reading Sci-Fi....)

The prologue in Redshirts was hilarious though the rest of the book didn't particularly wow me. I think I'm just not a big Scalzi fan because Old Man's War was also just kind of "okay" for me. It's amusing when it plays with tropes, but I think I just didn't particularly like the characters.

I remember the Codas being a really fun treat though. (Part of that is maybe the way they were so experimental, and at the time I read it I didn't have a lot of experience with something like them.)

Somebody said in book club discussion that the rest of the book feels like a setup for codas.
