Never read anything by Locke I didn't love. She's a genius in her writing and description, and also for the profound complexity through which her stories unfold. I don't like the detective/mystery/crime genre, but I love her work. That she can bring in race and racism in a tale of the modern U.S. and bend but not break the detective genre is an awesome feat. I'll read everything she publishes.

I think the author does a nice job of capturing a dystopian universe, alongside the strengths of characters coming into their own and making sense of a world through a critical lens. A quick read, series and playful at the same time. Ursu follows YA adventure fantasy genre... and also busts it up.

A fun YA fantasy novel based in mathematics of all things. Classic Brandon Sanderson twists a reader should come to expect but can rarely predict. I wish Sanderson would continue this series (maybe he will - but he has so many open series at this point).

I love everything I've ever read by Kazuo Ishiguro. His prose isn't filled with vocab words and doesn't ever even feel anything but mundane, and yet somehow, every single line is poetry. This book did not disappoint. Lovely, loving, heart-rending... and also exploring the very real potential futures of artificial intelligence, machine learning, friendship, and disposability.

Have read almost everything else by N.K. Jemisin... but not this one! Love all her work.

Loved Akata Witch and Binti.
