Brad commented on Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
The international publishing sensation now available in paperback: an audacious, darkly glittering novel about art, …
I hadn't planned on shotgunning two books by the same author so quickly, but I didn’t realize station eleven was also by St John Mandel. I very much preferred this to Sea of Tranquility.

Brad finished reading Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter (The Burning, #1)
Game of Thrones meets Gladiator in this blockbuster debut epic fantasy about a world caught …
I had no idea what I was walking into when I picked this book up, but it was very good. Will definitely be checking out the sequel. Has some similar beats to Way of Kings and other military fantasy/sci-fi… but the magic system is great and the story is super engaging.

What a solid interesting urban sci-fi/fantasy.
Brad finished reading Punisher Vol. 1 by Paul Azaceta
The Punisher story to end all Punisher stories! Born of tragedy. Devoted to war. Unstoppable …
Reading this mainly because of its tie in to the conclusion of Zdarsky/Checchetto Daredevil run. This is a really interesting punisher story in it’s own right, though. Would recommend.
Brad finished reading Immortal Hulk Vol. 5 by Al Ewing
Al Ewing and Joe Bennett’s acclaimed saga reaches its horrifying climax! The end begins with …
Phenomenal end to a really great run with themes on understanding your father, pain and the point of being. Also, Joe Bennett’s art looks great, but he’s a piece of shit.
I definitely need to read more Al Ewing.

Christopher Chance has made a living out of being a human target--a man hired to …
I know everyone else has said it for years, but Tom King rocks. The story is perfect and as a graphic book, Smallwoods art is exactly what you need for a tale like this.
Brad finished reading A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers, #2)
Once, Lovelace had eyes and ears everywhere. She was a ship's artificial intelligence system - …
A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet was fine. This book though…. It gutted me. I’m coming to the series after having read the monk & robot duology and this book is waaaay more in the vein of those two. I was very pleased.
Brad commented on The best of Cordwainer Smith by Linebarger, Paul Myron Anthony
The book contains twelve short works of fiction by the author, all set in his …
The first story in the Cordwainer collection is great, but I can’t stop comparing the scanners usage of the word “cranch” to Tom Kenny’s character “squanchy” on Rick and Morty.

Sad. Poignant. Pulsing. Very modern-era death of a salesman.

This has been sitting on my TBR for a while… I think Sam Tallent is an insanely funny standup, but I know this book is going to be bleak as hell, so it’s been hard for me to want to launch into it. I’m already about 3 chapters in and it is bleak, but the prose is very compelling and there’s such a frenetic pulse to the book.
