The Summer War by Naomi Novik
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Naomi Novik. Her writing is so beautiful. Her ideas are so heartwarming and joyful and interesting. Her characters always stay with me and this beautiful story was no exception. If anything, it’s proof that she’s so talented and can create deeply memorable characters and stories in much shorter format. I also loved how visual and creative this one was.

with gratitude to netgalley and Del Rey for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent and interesting. What an unusual premise and so well written. This book is about friendship, beauty, art, and jealousy. There’s also a lot of interesting ideas about possible futures and love and it’s truly unique. Worth reading.
