Twelve Months by Jim Butcher is the story of Chicago's and Harry's recovery after the Battle of Chicago. It's an intimate look at Harry's life, and it's a more psychological and philosophical novel than most Dresden Files books. Highly recommended.
Review
Review: Dungeon Crawler Carl
Dungeon Crawler Carl is a wholly unexpected book that blurs the line between science fiction and fantasy. Carl and Princess Donut made me laugh and brought kindness to a dungeon. This book is complex, entertaining, and moving. Highly recommended.
Review: Melinda West and the Gremlin Queen
K.C. Grifant's Melinda West and the Gremlin Queen is a fast paced adventure with horror, action, and, this time, gremlins. Melinda West delivers the action, the story, and the gun-slinging. Highly recommended.
Review: The Last Vigilant
The Last Vigilant by Mark Latham is an entertaining addition to the grimdark oeuvre. While it's not pushing the boundaries of the genre, it's a tale that's well told, though not for the squeamish. Recommended.
Review: Splinter Effect
Splinter Effect by Andrew Ludington is an excellent time travel adventure. Highly recommended.
Review: A Drop of Corruption
A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett is the second in the Shadow of the Leviathan series. It's a wonderful book that builds upon the first in the series. Ana and Din, once again, must protect the Empire in their unique way. Highly recommended.
Review: The Quiet Damage
Jesselyn Cook's The Quiet Damage is a beautiful, sad look at how Qanon tears families apart. Over the course of this book, we meet and become invested in the struggle of five families to adjust to how Qanon has changed their lives. Highly recommended.
Review: The Dead Cat Tail Assassins
The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark is a wonderful, action-packed book. Follow Eveen as she tries to unravel what is happening to her in this engrossing world. Highly recommended.
