Some books I read in the past three months that I was too lazy to write about in more detail:
The Fire's Stone by Tanya Huff
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
eglantiere recommended this one and promised it has " canon ot3! soulbonding! h/c out of the wazoo! shenanigans!" All of which is true. The adventure plot was fun, the minor characters were good too, and I really love the relationship between Aaron, Darvish, and Chandra, how it develops, and how it promises to develop in the future. I already read it twice (and may or may not be plotting time travel fic, help.)
Power of Three by Diana Wynne Jones
Such a wonderful atmosphere, great narration. I really like all the kids, and the friendships, and the different cultures and the relationships between them.
Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
I really liked the first book, especially the human-alien communication and diplomacy. I was a bit disappointed with the next two because while they had very interesting elements that I liked a lot, I didn't find the resolutions to the story arcs completely satisfying.
Jade City by Fonda Lee
I knew this was a mafia story, but I did not expect quite this level of violence and misery, that's not really what I was in the mood for. I liked most of the characters and especially how we saw them differently in different characters' PoVs. The ending quite obviously demands a sequel, I wasn't quite satisfied with it.
The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher
I enjoyed this a lot. I liked the worldbuilding, I liked all the characters (especially the cats), the plot was interesting, and the airship battles were very exciting. (Another first book in a series but this one had a much better ending than the one above imo.)
The Hangman of Wolves by J.S.Briggs (auburn)
The atmosphere was a bit too, hm, grey for my taste/mood, but if you like both Teen Wolf fic and detective stories you will probably enjoy this.
Clocktaur War by T.Kingfisher
Some cool worldbuilding ideas, good plot especially in the second book, and I liked the characters. (I would have preferred a bit less romance, especially in the first book. The author tried to balance out "we're all in constant mortal danger" with "oh no s/he's hot" but imo there could have been a lot less of the latter. Priorities.)
