This book was a bit of a dip in the series, at least in comparison to the previous one.

Parable of the Sower – Octavia Butler
Octavia Butler was a master of showing us the worst of all possible outcomes, but not letting us lose our faith on the way.
Oryx and Crake – Margaret Atwood
Oryx and Crake lingers around in your head like a bad house guest. That’s actually a pretty nice thing to say about it.

Children of Time – Adrian Tchaikovsky
Some books are just so good you want to start reading them a new right as you finish.
Nemesis Games – James S.A. Corey
Sometimes persistence pays off in the form of a series you didn’t really like starting to be enjoyable finally.

If nothing else, this book wins all the internet points for putting in a “Leroy Jenkins” reference.
Redshirts – John Scalzi
I was initially concerned that, not knowing anything about Star Trek, much of the point of this book would be lost. That wasn’t the case.
Makers – Cory Doctorow
Makers by Cory Doctorow really seems to cement the point that Doctorow just really hates the Disney corporation.
