14. The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson - Took a bit to get going and it's doing a LOT, but I didn't expect it all to resolve in this first book. I ended up really enjoying the characters and really inventive worldbuilding and magic, curious to see where it goes from here! Also boy, it's loooong!

13. System Collapse by Martha Wells - I mean, I love Murderbot. This one in particular is so fun, with MB wrangling with some Trauma, along with some good action hijinks and space politics and banter between favorite characters. A delight all around!

12. Doppelganger by Naomi Klein - Nonfiction is challenging for me but this felt so timely, critical, and sharply aware. So many nuggets of concise clarity, with a throughline metaphor that really worked for me. Absolutely seminal for the moment right now, both infuriating and grounding truth.

11. Paladin's Strength by T. Kingfisher - Love the universe and characters, but this was weaker than Paladin's Grace. Still enjoyed the mystery but the romance was a little too long-drawn, and the chemistry between the leads was... fine. But it's competently written and decently fun!

all of the talk of “reshoring (low end) manufacturing” and “bringing back the american worker” is a smokescreen for a plan to impoverish as many americans by forcing as many of them as possible into backbreaking, low wage labor. it’s discipline for an unruly populace.
