The Hacienda is the perfect mixture of crime drama, witchcraft, love and historic fiction. It reminds me a lot of Victorian times, but set in Mexico after the War of Independence. Great read.

Sea of Tranquility is probably the best time travel story I’ve read. Super interesting and so well written

I love the world-building in The Red Scholar's Wake. Unlike most other science fiction the world of space empires and space pirates is based on Vietnamese culture and I found that super interesting. I also enjoyed the ongoing conflict within the pirate community on whether this is all about getting as much money and power as possible or if they should build a better world. However, I could not fully get on-board with the individual characters. The reasoning for the actions was too flimsy for me and the reactions too dramatic.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The narrator is a translator at the International Criminal Court in The Hague and is confronted with a complicated relation, both possibilities and instabilities and her job and a crime that effects her more than she thought it would. Beautifully written and I became extremely curious what the narrator would do.
