Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch #1) by Ann Leckie

2/5 stars. Didn’t live up to its potential or it’s hype. I love space operas with AI characters, but this one disappointed me. Screenshot of my full review is in the attached image.

Ship of Magic (The Liveship Traders #1) by Robin Hobb
5/5 Stars. I read this almost a year ago I just realized I never wrote a review. I think it’s because I immediately read the next book in the series. I couldn’t put it down, and I still wish there was more of it to read.
This is adult fantasy fiction but I wouldn’t hesitate to let young adults read it. It has great character development, interesting magic, and talking ships!

Kindred by Octavia E. Butler

4/5 Stars.
Rufus never learned anything and never improved as a person. He literally had the future laid out before him and continued to behave just as his father did. I don’t think I’ve ever hated a fictional character so much.

The Library of the Unwritten (Hell’s Library #1) by A.J. Hackwith

4/5 stars. Really fun read. If you like the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fford then I think you enjoy this one too.

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy

Pretty interesting story and I liked the Scottish setting. I didn’t write a review so the synopsis is in the attached image.

It’s getting close to the end of the year and I’ve read a lot of books.
I’m going to post a few of my reviews and if there is interest I’ll keep going.

My winter indulgence is homemade eggnog. I use a simple recipe but source the highest quality ingredients I can find. Except for the bourbon, it’s wasteful to use good stuff for cocktails.
Farm fresh eggs, whole goats milk, organic heavy whipping cream, fresh grated nutmeg, and Madagascar premium vanilla. A sprinkle of Vietnamese royal cinnamon after pouring. 🥂

The Wounded Kingdom is a brilliant trilogy and I recommend them to all fantasy readers. Book two {Blood of Assassins} was my least favorite but still very good. Middle books often tend to feel this way for me and I’m sure writing them is tremendously difficult.
I should also mention that the ending of this book is sad but satisfying.

Over the past few years more random objects have been left near this tree. I wonder if it has some significance or is it just to make people like me wonder.
