2025.Book6 - The Invisible Library (Cogman)

 Pretty good; a bit amateurish in characterization and internal monologue but maybe the rest of the series is better.

2025.Book5 - The Nickel Boys (Whitehead)

 Really good. A mostly sad story.

2025.Book4 - The Case of the Philosophers' Ring

 Kind of goofy; Holmes meets Cambridge philosphers

2025.Book3 - Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind (McGhee)

 Pretty good; trying to be all metaphoric and relevant, but not really successfully. And what's with the drive-by DFW reference?

2025.Book2 - The Jade Throne (Novik)

 Good sequel: lots of violence.

2025.Book1 - His Majesty's Dragon (Novik)

 Fun, master & commander with dragons.

2024.Book50 - A Beam of Light (Camilleri)

 Another good one.
