πŸ“š Finished A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

πŸ“šFinished Titanium Noir by Nick Harkaway

Greatly written and very well paced novel, that interrogated its science fiction premise of the titans very well. It succeeds in feeling very noir without reverting the more nasty trope of the genre.

πŸ“š Finished Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

πŸ“š Finished Mythos by Stephen Fry

Fry is a great storyteller, and he tells great stories. At parts, it gets a little messy, but so is the underlying Greek mythology. I enjoyed it immensely.

πŸ“š Finished The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal

πŸ“š Finished Blitz by Daniel O'Malley

πŸ“š Finished System Collapse by Martha Wells

For me these books continue to become better with (almost) every entry. This one is somewhat a hybrid between a novella and novel.

πŸ“š Finished Open City by Teju Cole

πŸ“š Finished King Lear by William Shakespeare

Somewhat confusing for a non-native speaker, but I have to agree with the consensus from the last centuries that it is great.

πŸ“š Finished Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty

Surprisingly funny and great characters. I am not entirely sure if it succeeded as a murder mystery, but I look forward to reading the next instalment of the series.

πŸ“šFinished Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

πŸ“š Finished The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab

πŸ“š Finished Heimsuchung by Jenny Erpenbeck

This novel comes from a similar idea as One Hundred Years of Solitude, but a few decades later and in East Germany. That setting, of course, results in a different structure, plot and style than MΓ‘rquez. I was quite interested to contrast the depiction of Columbia and East Germany while reading this book.

πŸ“šFinished The Mercy of Gods by James S. A. Corey

πŸ“š Finished The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson

πŸ“š Finished The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

Charming and well written.

πŸ“š Finished Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher

Interesting reinterpretation, and it made me read a few Brothers Grimm tales, which was fun.

πŸ“šFinished Existential Physics by Sabine Hossenfelder

πŸ“š Finished The Armageddon Protocol by Dan Moren

πŸ“š Finished To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose

A very quiet novel. Interesting look at a (quasi) Native American culture. It mess up real history and science in a great and anachronistic way.

The integration of (quasi) German language with the (quasi) English culture was amusing to me. I hope the next book in the series uses even more archaic German words.
