Fatal Methods Optional by E.A. Winters: Two ex-assassins turned married thieves with morals take on a job that doesn’t go as planned. This one has some fun character interactions and interesting magic systems and action, and contrasts their old and new lives. 4/5

My Water’s Keeper by Andrew D. Meredith
A man questions the point of honor when discovering he’s going to a place where nobody will see it. I liked the presentation of how honor is presented and had interesting sections, but wasn’t fully immersed. 3/5

Barblade the Merciful by T.D. Orel
A bug-like warrior thinks about honor as he's battling humans. An interesting POV from the bug warrior and had me intrigued despite a slow start. 4/5
