Everything I read in November!

Absolution is very good

alien clay and service model I reviewed both of them I love them to pieces

this thing is a masterpiece it is a dark Academia fantasy novel very much in the vein of RF quang's Babel I cannot deny the comparisons between them but because of its very detailed World building and its very well imagined magic system blood over bright Haven still stands alone as something unique and Powerful

while I didn't like it as much as children of time it is still a wonderfully effective novel and not liking something quite as much as your absolute favorite sci-fi novel isn't saying much I still love this thing

his novel children of time is probably my favorite sci-fi novel

fa bound is queer it has solid World building it has very interesting Dynamic and likable protagonists it is a genuinely solid work of fantasy and a dynamic work of queer romance with some straight romance thrown in to make sure that everybody is satisfied

this is a wonderful work of feminist crime fiction it won the Nai prize in Japan and I really hope it gets a lot of love and attention now that it's been translated into English

this book is not good by any standard metric that we use to measure quality when it comes to fiction this book is bad but it is absolutely also entertaining I was not bored for a single second as I read this thing

season of the swamp is surreal in places it is so gorgeously written and translated and because it's short you kind of fall into it and back out of it before you've even noticed what happened in that way it kind of feels like going through a fever dream and I had a great time with it

alien clay and service model I reviewed both of them I love them to pieces

in terms of World building it is Flawless it is a wonderfully political thing it feels very Game of Thrones in terms of its epic scope the political events and Intrigue the backstabbing the rising rebellions it is epic it is exciting but it completely Falls flat when it comes to character writing

he translated The Works of chinlu the three body problem which I do not like but his translation is fantastic because he is an amazing translator

this thing is full of action full of heart it is everything that I wanted from a good Transformers origin story it really is a blast

everything is different in this world Harry Osborne and Gwen Stacy are married and they become friends with Peter and MJ about halfway through this book a lot is different and I found it all so intriguing

it is an absolute travesty of a book and so much of that comes down to how it's written it is written so badly it is amateur it is awkward it is a thesaurus spilling out onto the page to try and sound clever and definitely not succeeding
