So many people have been raving about this book. Then it got nominated for all the awards. Finally got my hands on a copy. They were all correct. Masterful storytelling and world-building. And an ending that almost demands you re-read the whole book with new eyes.

A fun fantasy comedy that serves as a prequel to Legends and Lattes featuring a queer orc-dwarf relationship, a bookshop run by a rattkin, the pluckiest gnome you'll ever meet and, maybe my favorite character, a homunculus with some surprising abilities and great outlook on life.

"As we mine out the landfills (at least they left us a lot of plastic to reuse; that was thoughtful) and burrow into basements and archives seeking the books that our ancestors did not burn to survive the winters, you feel it sometimes, rage filling you like an updraft of hot air from a fire, lifting you from the shoulders or blowing through like a tornado -- rage that we missed it, missed it all, and rage at those who got to have it in the specific way that took it from us."
That last bit? Says it all.
Am I making it worse? I think I'm making it worse.

A great new instalment in the Murderbot series. Murderbot is definitely going through some stuff, and very self-consciously making a hash of things, but prevails in the end. Yeah, Murderbot!
Also, still loving the “this is what the galaxy might look like if you give corporations free reign” commentary of the whole series.
