March Book Roundup

[unicornduke]

theme this month was weird shit

Read

• Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner - second in the series of Godkiller, had a twist I absolutely didn't see coming, so fucking good - library e-book
• We Speak Through the Mountain by Premee Mohamed - Sequel to The Annual Migration of Clouds and also incredibly good and fucked up - library e-book
• The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy - minor horror, lots of queer people, lots of dead people - library e book
• The Bird King by G Willow Wilson - Two people have to flee the inquisition where magic can fuck you up, pretty good - library e-book
• The Chosen and Beautiful by Nghi Vo - neat queer book, probably would have made more sense to me if I had read the Great Gatsby - physical library book
• In the Vanisher's Palace by Aliette de Bodard - absolutely weird book, still unsure of what happened - library e-book
• The Virtu by Katherine Addison - these people do love talking but my god some shit is going down finally, third in the series maybe? another still to go - library e-book
• A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles - somehow I missed that this is book two in the series, but I didn't really need to read the first one. Delightful romance with a little danger. library e-book
• The Poison Throne by Celine Kiernan - first in the trilogy, shit is so fucked up and the protag is a delight and so pissed at all the bad stuff, drama will continue until morale improves - physical library book
• The Goblin Emperor fanfics on AO3, literally just sorting highest kudos first and then reading down them until I hit page 15 or so. Good stuff.

DNF

• Alif the Unseen by G Willow Wilson - irritating protag

Re-read

The Goblin Emperor is one of my comfort reads.
