Vuelvo a Kekon por una ultima vez. Me despido de la familia Kaul. De esas traciones, movimientos politicos y decisiones cuestionables. Vere como culmina @FondaJLee esta trilogia.
El clan es mi sangre, y el Pedestal, su señor. Por mi honor, mi vida y mi jade.

@GusRyer Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[Gus Ryer @GusRyer]

Just finished UNTETHERED SKY, by @FondaJLee: a fantastic novella, as focused and unflinching as the enormous rocs within.

Had a great time w/ this, racing through in only a couple of sessions. Highly recommended (though it may make you want to try falconry)!

Presenting my review of #TheLastContractofIsako by @FondaJLee Thanks to @orbitbooks @LittleBrownUK and @gambit589 for the review copy!

10/10 from me on this one.

All I can say this is on the same level of the Expanse, and an Memory Called Empire. If Apple TV adapted this fantastic book, I'd watch it in a heartbeat.

"...But right now, it's cavernously empty excerpt for a lone man in a black duffle coat leaning against the railing that surrounds the antique telescope."

THE LAST CONTRACT OF ISAKO by @FondaJLee is read Mary Robinette Kowal & Dillon Sickels!
