Not my favorite Miéville, but still good. Started slow, but got better and threw me a couple of curve balls at the end.

Armamix reviewed The Jehovah Contract by Victor Koman
Review of 'The Jehovah Contract' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
An assassin is contracted to kill God in a Blade Runner-ish millennial Los Angeles. Part noir, part scifi, part quasi-philosophical ramblings. I wanted to like this one for it's somewhat novel concept and a couple of very good future predictions, but unfortunately the rather bland writing style and uninteresting characters ruin the experience. The characters are particularly disappointing as they seem potentially very interesting at first, but then nothing happens. It's not a horribly bad book as this type of scifi goes, but it's nothing more than that.

Review of 'Ready Player One' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
Fun futuro-nostalgic romp through eighties pop culture and a bleak techno future. Simplistic storyline and relatively two-dimensional characters ruins what could have been a great thriller, along with a couple of moments where suspension of disbelief is hard to achieve.
