Suyi Davies Okungbowa: Warrior of the Wind (2023, Little, Brown Book Group Limited)

This is a book about five different people fighting over who gets to slaughter the goose that lays golden eggs.

It's very much "the middle book in a trilogy" - lots of stuff happens, but almost nothing is resolved. The author keeps introducing new, cool parts of the setting and new, horrible characters. The stakes are ratcheted way up and the mysterious backstory is unraveled further. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

A STARFARING COZY MYSTERY combines echoes of Golden Age detective fiction, queer sensibility, a touch of screwball comedy, and a far-future generation ship on its way to settle New Earth. Lots of fun, some sharp insights about tech and ethics. B PLUS

Folk-horror tinged, strange stories of compulsions, sacrifices, and the uncanny, COME SING FOR THE HARROWING is filled with uniquely sinister, striking, & spooky tales. Dan Coxon masterfully weaves stories wrought with atmosphere and ambiguity that leave you pondering and unsettled. (Clash Books)

It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and the community there is full of lovely people who are for the most part genuinely interested in sharing their love of and helping each other find something worthwhile to read.

The occasional communal gushing around especially excellent is also quite nice.

And it's one of the only social reading spaces where I feel like I can actually trust the , whether positive, negative, or neutral. For that matter, it's one of the few places online outside of dedicated book review blogs which actually contains a high proportion of thoughtful reviews.

Another masterpiece of and terror, THIS'LL MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER seeps and seethes with dread and unease. Attila Veres' newest collection is a dazzling foray into various Hells; a bleak, dark delight of utterly unique, unforgettable new nightmares that will haunt you. (Valancourt Books)
