is anyone else weird abt certain tropes being mentioned in a book& #39;s cover copy? like you love it when it happens but if the cover copy alludes to it for some reason it& #39;s fucking annoying? i& #39;m not like this w some things but like

found family is definitely this one for me lol

any scifi that references Firefly or comps to it tends to annoy me so maybe that& #39;s why because i know that& #39;s the implication and I& #39;m like no thanks

BUT then you give me weirdo shit like the Radch books giving you a big found family of imperial clones, AI ships, and shitty addicts and it& #39;s like ah chef kiss

would definitely read more "adventure scifi" if it didn& #39;t get so many Firefly comps or immediately sound like island of misfit space folks

I trend more broad political scifi anyways so I& #39;m not pre-disposed to really enjoy that whole sub-genre anyways BUT SOMETIMES I FIND A GEM

am currently trying to decide if I want to read something from Winter 2021 is why this thread
