The End We Start From
A poignant story about motherhood and survival. Kind of a one-two punch with the last book.
How High We Go in the Dark
I loved this meditation on loss and love. It captured a lot of the complex feelings I’ve had over the years about family and belonging.
Six Wakes
An original and exciting take on cloning and space travel.
Killing Gravity
More of a novella, but a fun one. Some echoes of Becky Chambers, but with a core concept similar to Hanna. Excited to read the rest of the series.
Dead Silence
Really cool space horror that nicely dovetailed with playing Dead Space. Spooky and hard to put down.
An Unkindness of Magicians
Similar thematically and story-wise to a lot of fantasy I read these days, but compelling characters and hilariously brutal and brief spell battles mark it out.
The Employees
The objects are good.
Chilling Effect
Fun but a little too silly.
Something New Under the Sun
A friend asked if this was Solarpunk, and I’m not sure, but I said yes.
Winter Tide
A nice take it and turn it of Lovecraft.
Neuromancer
Re-reading for a Discord group. Not my favorite of his trilogies, but still fun.
