Translation State
by Ann Leckie
Again Leckie weaves a heart-warming sci-fi tale around truly alien -- and this time downright disturbing -- characters. One of the best sci-fi writers who can deliver jaw dropping moments without epic space battles.
The Mercy of Gods
by James S. A. Corey
Loved the Expanse. This first entry in their new series is different but not wildly so: still very readable, fast-moving, but more brutal in ways (it is an apocalypse-type story afterall) with real trauma the characters spend most of the book dealing with in different ways. Looking forward to the next entry.
Bad Cree
by Jessica Johns
Book club read. Both genuinely creepy and heartwarming. Once the book grabs you, you'll finish in an afternoon to unravel the mystery. Surprisingly made one my favorite classic horror stories (to name it would be a spoiler) seem downright shoddy by comparison.
Provenance
by Anne Leckie
Re-reading as a refresher before starting Translation State. As delightful as I remember! Leckie's Imperial Radch universe is so fascinating -- at once truly alien but with characters that make it feel downright cozy. Simply one of my favorite authors.
