Shapeshifting Fun: Monkey Around by Jadie Jang
An original take on shapeshifters in Urban Fantasy, and hopefully the start of a series, because I want a sequel, damn it!

Does Nothing New Until It’s Too Late: The Hand of the Sun King by J. T. Greathouse
Massively underwhelming.
Heartstoppingly Breathtaking: In The Watchful City by S. Qiouyi Lu
Wildly unique and utterly magical.
Too Many Side-Quests, Not Enough Epic: The Splinter King by Mike Brooks
A very readable but ultimately disappointing sequel.
Hopeless = Hope-Full: The Past Is Red by Catherynne M. Valente
An impossibly beautiful little book about finding beauty in impossible places.
No Kind of Person is Broken: The Fallen by Ada Hoffman
A sequel I wasn’t expecting, that was everything I didn’t know to want.
Addictive, Autistic, Awesome: The Outside by Ada Hoffman
A mind-breakingly excellent sci fi about mind-breaking science-magic.
Sweet but Not Serene: A Psalm For the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
Lovely, sweet, and leaving you with plenty to think about.
Yearning Like Honey, Desire Like Blood: Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo
I never doubted for a second that this was going to be good.
But it’s not good.
It’s motherfucking breathtaking.
Look Like the Innocent Flower, Kill Them With Your Blossoms: The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri
I still get chills just thinking about it. The subversiveness. The pure fucking cleverness and originality. The deceptively subtle brilliance of it all.
Wow.
