Thanks, Martha! That cover is so good. I definitely would have gone right past the book without it.

I voted for Kin, because I'm always down for a Jungian journey. I read Fire a few years ago and it was great, with a scope so big it was unlike other sci-fi I'd ever read before - I'd love to hear your take on that, too.

Thank you for your vote, my friend! I definitely want to read all three of these sooner rather than later. And regarding Fire, I haven't been this interested in a scifi novel since Dune. I'm excited to see how the votes shake out.

I did The Bloater with my book club (my choice, having heard the episode of Backlisted about it). It’s not nice but is perfect in some disgusting ways and appealed to me as a musicologist! Hope you enjoy

Thanks, Elizabeth! Based on your comment, I'm even more intrigued! The Bloater is running away with it in the poll. So looks like I'll be starting it soon.

I voted Bloater because I had the exact same reaction to the back cover description. And also..."The Kin of Ata Are Waiting For You" is such an incredible title, I almost don't want to know more? I'd like to sit with it for a little while and wonder.

I have no idea about any of these books. BUT I am really intrigued by the titles of the first two books you mentioned. Wow.
