A really, really good end to the series. Wow.

Cover of Anansi Boys.

Anansi Boys

by Neil Gaiman · published 2005 · read 2016-11-28
★★★★☆
Very much a Neil Gaiman book. I think both Spider and the green fedora are going to stay with me for a long time.

Cover of Among Others.

Among Others

by Jo Walton · published 2011 · read 2020-05-10
★★★★☆
Among Others worked super well for me, especially considering that there is little-to-no plot and the whole book is a well-dressed bibliography. But the protagonist's (diary author) voice is super strong and realistic, and … okay, let's be

Cover of The Scar.

The Scar

by China Miéville · published 2000 · read 2018-07-24
★★★★☆
The Scar is the second volume of Chine Miéville's Bas-Lag series, and it's as impressive as the first one. Only very loosely connected, we now explore the wider Bas-Lag world instead of New Crobuzon. Again, China Miéville excells with

Perdido Street Station

by China Miéville · published 2000 · last read 2022-07-28
★★★★☆
Wow, this book was … a lot to take in. I liked it very much. Getting thrown into an Ankh-Morporkesque city, discovering alien races, and characters, and social structures was awesome. I noted with thanks that there was very little of a conv

Cover of Uprooted.

Uprooted

by Naomi Novik · published 2015 · read 2018-07-21
★★★★☆
Uprooted by Naomi Novik was a perfect fantasy story/fairytale. It's got all the right parts (dark magic, regular magic, unimpressed heroine, ambivalent wizard, etc), but isn't terribly predictable, and forms real characters instead of sha

The Tea Master and the Detective

by Aliette de Bodard · published 2018 · read 2019-07-07
★★★★☆
The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard is a nie short scifi novella in a world where different sorts of teas can have a profound impact on how the human brain works, there is deep space that behaves entirely different from

Cover of The Bone Ships.

The Bone Ships

by R. J. Barker · published 2019 · read 2021-05-04
★★★☆☆
World-building at the detriment of plot and character development is usually a prerogative of sci-fi, but this book proves that fantasy can do it, too. The world is awesome: it's a naval world, where most of the world is covered in water,

Cover of The Ninth Rain.

The Ninth Rain

by Jen Williams · published 2017 · read 2022-07-02
★★☆☆☆
Surprisingly vague in my memories – there's extensive plotting and world-building, and I'm usually a sucker for this repeating apocalypse thing (remember Pern?), especially when the last one starts to pass out of memory! But I think the cha
