Fun space mystery, very plotty and twisty! Need to do a full review on this as well.

A fast paced, fun space opera romance. Great read for a Friday night after a stressful workweek when I just wanted to turn off my brain and go somewhere fun.

A series of stories about the author’s various post-burnout short term jobs. Interesting read on its own but also after doing my Non-Linear Storytelling From Non Western Traditions class. This was linear, but distinctly less of a “forward progress”, climax-drive story than I’m used to even in western autobiographical writing, more of a circular, emphasis-by-repetition structure. A good read.

A really fun space mystery. I owe a review on this one too (dammit, too many good books that need a real review…)

Fun read. Interesting to have read end on end with Accidental War; while this is on the surface a much darker book (Earth is destroyed! Billions die! Terrifying, mysterious attacks by near indestructible aliens!) it’s still the Williams tale of banal post-colonial greed that feels far uglier and more terrifying. But a good cast, a peppy, fast moving plot, and plenty of intriguing mysteries. It’s not a deeply chewy book but I had fun and will be grabbing the rest of the series.

A really good book, but I fell in a reading hole and took ages to finish it. A cheerfully dark space opera with two entertaining assholes as the POV characters; I’ll get a full review in when I can.
