I read Station Eleven after Sea of Tranquility, and I really liked the connection in that direction. So I don't think the ordering is so important. Really looking forward to reading The Glass Hotel as well! Emily St. John Mandel may be my new favorite author.
on “Ask HN: What is the best thing you read in 2022?” ↗Fiction: A Little Life - challenging to read but exceptional Sci-fi Three Body Problem trilogy - forget the Netflix series the books are excellent, in my opinion #2 was the peak. The Glass Hotel, Station Eleven, Sea of Tranquility - anything by Emily St. John Mandel - hard to place but her distinct writing style transports me. Non-fiction: American Moonshot - fine The Path to Power - anything…
on “Ask HN: What did you read in 2025?” ↗…thought was fabulous: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. It has also been turned into a limited miniseries that I am excited to watch. I enjoyed it so much I’ve just started another of her books, The Glass Hotel.
