    49. Legacy of Light 50. The Last Graduate HIT 50 YEAH BOYS! Both two enjoyable fantasy reads but the Last Graduate slaps slaps slaps.

    48. Scholomance Re-reading this before hitting up the sequel soon. A more malicious and realistic take on the magicians go to school subgenre. Obvious anti-HP vibes and a totally great book for it.

    47. Winter's Orbit A stunning debut of a novel about an arranged marriage and a diplomatic incident wrapped up in well paced narration and a bit of time pressure. The best sort of dramatic sci-fi. Nothing is really at stake (no universe ending here) but character driven plot and well written...

    46. To Sleep in a Sea of Stars Employee of an exploration company finds an alien technology which is symbiotic and a mixture of nuturing and murduring. This discovery leads to a war between two alien species and humans. Against this, the protagonist becomes quite important but not necessarily...

    45. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance For some reason I had a hankering to re-read this book. Man it starts well and gets going but ******* DRAGGGGGGGGGGS though. There are just pages of just dithering doldrums nothingness. I wish he'd just written about motorcycles and left out all...

    44. City of Miracles Last book in the most recent trilogy I've been reading, really loved it, probably the 2nd best one after the first. Some cool twists and turns and exposition. Would highly recommend the trio :)

    43. City of Blades After the upheaval caused in the first book, re-construction of the formerly subjugated Continent is going badly: racism persists, and the system chafes at the attempts at progress. Great book but was running me ragged by the end.

    42. Less A man turning 50 decides to run away into his middling career and sad hijinks ensues. It's kind of fun and interestingly written, playing with time quite well. The joke is essentially that this guy is way sadder than he has any right to be. The ending felt quite botched and sort of...

    41.Dark as Last Night Tony Birch's latest short stories. Some need to be novels, others can be left on the cutting room floor.

    40. Little Bets Such a bad book, came hghly recommended and I just cannot imagine why. A simple point parading as insight gets stretched out into a novel that just fellates so much Sillicon Valley tech bullshit and people. Only talks about the insight and thinking behind Google, Amazon, etc...

    39. Never Let Me Go Weird coming of age mixed with soft sci fi book, a bit too much neatly tied up at the end, but oddly beguiling despite little happening and lots of exposition.

    37. A Conjuring of Light Final book, kicked ass, enjoyed v much. Some redemption, etc. 38. City of Stairs Fantasy exploring the remnants of colonialisation, the admin-enabled suppression of culture and the inevitable long-standing repression that continues. REALLY enjoyed.

    36. Gathering of Shadows 2nd in a trilogy I'm re-reading. So fun to read, really well drawn just absolutely in the thick of it. If I have 30 minutes between work stuff I'm picking it up and having a read. Rare for a book to be so engrossing!

    35. A Darker Shade of magic Compelling world building, characterisation and drama. A re-read for me but better than I remember (and I remember fondly!). Well worth the time. Looking forward to smashing the next two in this series again this week,

    Yeah, I get that a lot of people enjoyed it for that reason. Sometimes I loved it, a lot of the time it felt a bit labored, but it's a hard one to pull off with the complex structure so I'm not too pissy about it. 34. Animals Make Us Human Australian animals are great, and give us something...

    32. Velocity Weapon Woman wakes up on an enemy AI ship the only human alive in the area 200 years after a decisive battle. But the rest of the story deals with the past that got her there. Really hard to summarise this as there were 2-3 MASSIVE plot twists which were well done, and the first...

    31. Black Sun What a spicy meatball of a book. Opens with a young man being disfigured by his mother in a religious ritual to create a power to swipe back at the elite. Includes falls from grace, mermaids, betrayal, love, blindness (really well done) and just exceptionally well paced writing...

    30. Rogue Protocol A sentient AI Security Bot steals away on a ship in an effort to keep moving to avoid detection. Sentience is not allowed and a sentient security bot is seen as a unique and unacceptable threat, given the possibility of murder, hacking and destruction. The ship enters murky...

    29. The Relentless Moon 3rd in this series sees an unnecessary shift of narrator and plot that feels fine, but not amazing. Moving readers away from the narrative style and key relationships/conflict of the former two novels is a bold choice and it's ok. This novel focuses a lot on the...
