Overdrive is so weird. This is the second time I"ve been reminded that just because I can get it on Overdrive doesn't mean everyone can. For a while I had my Los Angeles Public Library card loaded up next to my po-dunk redneck Seattle County library card but the Snohomish County one nukes the shit out of LA every time. I think I was pissed because I really liked the swashbuckling side of things and really hated the Gormenghast-fake palace intrigue bullshit because she writes Palace Intrigue as if she's writing about King Friday and Lady Aberlin. Sci fi writers suck at palace intrigue which is okay if your baseline is 1-world government let's go fight space aliens but whenever they set up some bullshit fake lines of succession nonsense that mostly just illustrates that their understanding of politics comes from the World Book Encyclopedia? I tune out.
