The Keys To December - 3.5.
Reading the dust line like "is the protagonist... A catboy??"

The Great Slow Kings - 3/5. Did cause me to chuckle once or twice

The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth - 2/5, the writing in this one for some reason was unbearable to me

Permafrost is like 3.5 stars maybe

Loki 7281 is 5/5, very topical with all the smart homes and AI-written books being the actual reality right now

Home is the Hangman - 4 out of 5,another interesting exploration of that step the artificial intelligence has to make to become real intelligence

He Who Shapes is almost a 5 star. Can't help but commend the prose: it adds to the dream-like unsettling atmosphere of Render's descent

For a Breath I Tarry: 4 stars, now more than ever musings about the distinction between humanity and sentient machines occupy our minds, and as usual art is a significant part of that conversation.

Divine Madness is 4 stars, a short but vivid story about grief and regret

Damnation Alley - 3 stars

3 stars for A Rose For Ecclesiastes

Well, that escalated skdndknsjdn

ah. *sagely nods* the fitz/fool yaoi.

Vengerberg mention!

hell yeah, law of surprise mention! cirilla fiona elen riannon, i can feel your unborn presence

Okay, I will admit, "Geralt, stay away from sorceresses!!!" is very funny advice.

Do I just remember zero Witcher lore (would be reasonable tbh, i do not remember anything) or are there no fun Easter eggs. Except for the horse name lol.

save me, ursula le guin, from my reading slump
