Saga Volume 8 may be my last Saga book -- not for any glaring reason, but for not doing anything particularly meaningful.
Review: The Fox
"In Sartotias-deles, only once have we seen pirates enjoy the protection of the strongest naval power in the world." ~ Sherwood Smith, The Fox
Review: News of the World
"Life was not safe and nothing could make it so, neither fashionable dresses nor bank accounts. The baseline of human life was courage." ~ Paulette Jiles, News of the World
Review: Tehanu
While this still felt like Earthsea and the characters were as strong as ever, this story felt quiet compared to previous entries, in a way that I wasn’t totally grabbed by.
Review: Autumn
"He's not just one thing or another. Nobody is. Not even you." ~Ali Smith, Autumn
Review: Nimona
This story isn't as simple as a classic “overthrow the king” plot. The book is more about Nimona and Blackheart’s friendship than anything else, and the characters are constantly questioning the morality of their actions.
Review: Hotel World
Ali Smith’s Hotel World is signature Smith—experimental and clever while being easy to read.
Review: Between the World and Me
“I would not have you descend into your own dream. I would have you be a conscious citizen of this terrible and beautiful world.”
Review: Red Rising
At times you can feel Brown trying to differentiate his world and his story from The Hunger Games, but I was never able to stop comparing the two.
Review: Wyrd Sisters
Wyrd Sisters is a delightful and spooky Halloween read that takes Discworld in a more political (but no less humorous) direction.
