I really hoped to make sense of The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge, because the Octavian Nothing books impressed me so much. (I don't think you should read them.) But I couldn't make head nor tail of the visual, and it seems like the audio doesn't help.
I liked Sal and Gabi Break the Universe, partly because our protagonists were so non-malicious. Sure, they might have hurt people through galactic-scale klutziness, but they didn't MEAN to hurt anyone even when they were striking back at the school bully.
E.K. Johnston frustrates me because some of her work is so very good. (Or hits my sweet spot so perfectly?) And other books of hers are really pretty dull. I can't classify them like Gillian Bradshaw, who is very good when writing stories set before the civil war, and moderately good when setting stuff during it or fanatasy equivalents.
