The Ascent to Godhood by Neon Yang
5.0
I LOVED this series. The varying literary styles from book to book was so fun and well-executed. Lady Han is a bad ass and I enjoyed her story here at the end.
The Descent of Monsters by Neon Yang
4.5
I LOVE a story told through artifacts! This one was especially well done.
The Free People's Village by Sim Kern
4.25
Brutally honest take on the lifecycle of radicalization for a young cis white woman. It is so cringy because it is so true.
The Red Threads of Fortune by Neon Yang
4.0
More emotion and world building than book 1. Glad I stuck with the series!
The Black Tides of Heaven by Neon Yang
3.5
I wanted more from both the world building and the character building but what I got was creative, engaging, emotional and wonderfully queer.
The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
4.75
It’s incredible how every character was so well-developed and engaging in such a short book. I found the time jumps a little hard to follow, but that might be because I was flying through to figure out what happened.
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi
4.25
A great read to provide context to a complicated reality in Palestine. I really appreciated the analysis in the conclusion.
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
4.75
I love this book soo much!! It is a desert island book for sure. I would be perfectly content to read it over and over. There was a missed opportunity to give more recognition to intersex, nonbinary, and asexual identities because they were definitely in the book!
To Name the Bigger Lie: A Memoir in Two Stories by Sarah Viren
3.75
Really well written. Heavy on philosophy, if that is your thing!
