This is a good one! I usually avoid YA and I was ready to whine about the tsundere teen romance tropes getting in the way of my anticolonial dragon fantasy, but they do have relevance and fit in well by the end. Looking forward to the sequel.

Loved the concept and style, hated the conclusion that the best version of reality is where the narrator dies and her husband gets to sleep with his assistant and raise their kid with her.

bit of a confused conclusion but still has that Tim Powers goodness. Less Last Call, more Expiration Date

I was thinking "wow, this new book from the Blindsight guy is really of-the-moment" until I checked the publication date and realized it's his debut from 1999. Energy and refugee crises, corporate seabed exploitation, and AI have apparently been around for a while.

A heartbreaking story of people trying to do their best from within flawed systems in a dying world

The suspense of this novel is nothing compared to the creeping realization that the twist is going to be “transgender” halfway in

Southern gothic, complex magic and ritual systems, secret societies, fun times

Traumatized disaster gays on a spaceship trying to hold themselves and each other together, great action scenes

cool setting, also contains a perfect description of why blockchain is actualy a tool for surveillance rather than privacy
