2025.Book45 - Empire of Ivory (Novik)

 Back on the basement bike, so I picked this up again. Very good as usual. Interested to see where the next story goes, cliffhanger-wise.

2025.Book44 - In God We Trust (Shepherd)

 Memoir of an American small town boy. Has a tall tales vibe. Casual slurs don't age well but that was the time.

2025.Book43 - The Shadow of What Was Lost (Islington)

 Door stopper epic fantasy. So much plot. Too much of everything but enjoyable page to page

2025.Book42 - The Incandescent (Tesh)

School novel about teachers. Social-class-aware. A lot of telling, not enough showing. Plot gives a great opportunity to explore self-delusion that author didn't take.

2025.Book41 - Katabasis (Kuang)

Enjoyable and good characters.
