The Mountain in the Sea (2022) Ray Nayler "I came to The Mountain in the Sea for the cephalopods (I love cephalopods) but I stayed for the fascinating meditation on consciousness and personhood. I loved this book."
Furious Heaven (2022) (Sun Chronicles, book 2) Kate Elliott "Non-stop action! Space battles! Intrigue!."
January Fifteenth (2022) Rachel Swirsky "Rachel's stories are super-smart and gorgeously written. It's [a short blurb], but it has the virtue of being true."

A Song for a New Day (2019) Sarah Pinsker "A compelling book about the importance of music--and any sort of art--in a world where it seems like the least essential thing. This is an expertly drawn post-catastrophe world peopled by compassionately written characters."
Blackfish City (2018) Sam J Miller "Miller gives us an incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge, and the power (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible future.
