2026

I've been bad at keeping track.

1. Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir: Eh, fine. Hard to put down, but the science is garbage and there's too much Great Man nonsense. It feels like a bad Hollywood film (and apparently was written with a contract for a film already signed). Anyway, Rocky is lovely; the rest is trash.
2. Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro: lovely, little sad of course (how could it be anything else with a title like that?).
3. This Is How You Lose the Time War, Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone. Cute. The ending is weak, though. It could have been more heartwrenchingly sad, or more heartwarmingly happy, or more interesting—but it's a time travel cliché.
4. Deep End, Ali Hazelwood
