one book, one TV show
BOOK: The Shepherd’s Crown is the last Tiffany Aching novel by Terry Pratchett. I may have read it before? But I didn’t particularly remember it, and I wanted an audiobook to entertain me while doing a bunch of tedious chores, so Pratchett won out. And I enjoyed it: both the story and the narration.
TV: Andor, season two, five episodes in.
Some of my less-enthusiastic response to season two is simply that I generally prefer origin stories to, er, the stuff that comes later. At any rate: Andor is still a very good show. Just not season one good, alas.
I am very pleased that Wilmon is back for season two: he’s the young man who threw a bomb during Maarva’s funeral/the riot that ensued. The actor has an interesting face, and the character was at a potentially interesting point in his story.
Other elements, sans real spoilers: there are two romantic relationships happening and I’m… at a loss for words about one of them. Other than maybe “Gah!” The other one is heartbreak waiting to happen, but it’s also plausible, so I’ll just wait for the fallout.

opinions about sounds (and more) here
This isn’t the first show on Disney+ that has made me think “needs less soundtrack”. But I’m shocked that it’s this show–season one’s soundtrack was a huge part of the success of it all. I could tell just a few minutes into episode one of season two Nicholas Britell wasn’t doing the main soundtrack work.Some of my less-enthusiastic response to season two is simply that I generally prefer origin stories to, er, the stuff that comes later.
