The science fair - 3 Stars - the plot isn’t that great but it does showcase Vinge’s ability to create interesting aliens.

Fast times at Fairmont High - 4 Stars - best I’ve read here so far, especially as the ideas are so relevant right now (remote workers becoming commuters of people) and the execution was a bit stronger.

The Blabber - 3 stars - this was what caused me to come back to this book as this story is set in “Fire on the Deep” universe, but it largely missed the mark, still loved some parts near the end, plus the “Earth as renaissance fair” vibe.

Conquest by default - 2 stars - the good ideas were not the central ones and the overall plot was a bit meh.

The ungoverned - 3 stars some great action but a little incoherent at times as well. I like the references to the bobbles.

The Peddler’s Apprentice - 3 stars started slow, improved (once Joan took over) but then landed rather flat.

Bookworm Run! - 3 stars, good ideas, but a bit clunky in execution.
