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 Márquez. I was quite interested to contrast the depiction of Columbia and East Germany while reading this book.
Finished The Mercy of Gods by James S. A. Corey
Finished The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
Finished The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
Charming and well written.
Finished Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher
Interesting reinterpretation, and it made me read a few Brothers Grimm tales, which was fun.
Finished Existential Physics by Sabine Hossenfelder
Finished The Armageddon Protocol by Dan Moren
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.
Finished The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula Le Guin
Finished The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams
Very captivating to me.
Finished The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi
Finished Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett
Finished Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Amazing book. Incredibly written, inventive, funny and well plotted. It tries its best to annoy the reader(2nd person unreliable narrator, wonky timeline, massive contradictions to the first book, no explanations for anything ever), but enjoyed every minute of it.
Finished Brightfall by Jamie Lee Moyer
It is a beautiful novel about hardship, loss, hope, the forest (specifically Sherwood) and Robin Hood.
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Very unique novel with a main character who is always the least informed person in the room. I really enjoyed the prose, characters and story, despite my usual dislike for skeletons.
Finished Troy by Stephen Fry
A very pleasant retelling of the story of Troy with great footnotes.
Finished Der Tod in Venedig by Thomas Mann
Finished Dead Lions by Mick Herron
Exciting and often funny. The ending of the village plot line was great.
Finished Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
Finished The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera
Very imaginative and well written novel. The description of the camp in the second part was stunning to me.
