Solid Side Stories
3 stars
This was another enjoyable collection of side stories. The standout is told from the perspective of a dog, but they're all breezy reads.

Huff's Best Urban Fantasy
5 stars
This story is the strongest of Tanya Huff's urban fantasy novels, capturing the ways all small towns are weird and also many ways they aren't. The characters are fun to follow, the humour is on point, and the stakes kept the story gripping.

A Satisfying Ending
3 stars
I've enjoyed this cozy, slice of life series, and was happy that it didn't drag out the relationship milestones like so many similar books do. The many meat-based meals discussed throughout were an unwelcome distraction but I enjoyed the character interactions.

A Bit More Awkward, Bit Still Enjoyable
3 stars
There were definitely more moments in this novel where I was dismayed by unpleasant old attitudes. That distracted from what was an otherwise fun read. Anne continued to be a character it was rewarding to see grow up.

@knizer I'm about two thirds through the book and loving it. It's probably going to my favourite of Huff's urban fantasies. It's available on Hoopla as an audiobook already, which surprised me since it came out this week.

An Excellent Science Fiction Collection
4 stars
Monáe and collaborators have produced an excellent sci fi short story collection, fleshing out a dystopian but hopeful future world that was first expressed in Monáe's music.
