The Consuming Fire
Second part of the Interdependence Trilogy. New Emperox Greyland II is scrambling to save humanity from the forthcoming collapse of the Flow.
This trilogy is a great deal of fun, especially the foul mouthed Kiva Lagos.

Hench
Brilliant black comedy about the people who work for supervillains. I hope there are further books set in this world.

Grishaverse Trilogy
Eastern Europe inspired YA fantasy series. It’s competent enough even if it is predictably about a conflicted chosen one. Though she does seem more conflicted love life than her fate as the chosen one.

Calculated Risks
Very enjoyable installment of the Incryptid sequence as cousin Sarah tries to find a way back home from another dimension for her, Antimony and friends. Of course Antimony et. al. don’t remember or trust Sarah at all after the math/magic that took them to this alien place.

The Viscount Who Loved Me
Delightful historical rom-com. some wonderful banter between the two leads as they move from enemies to lovers.
I’m really looking forward to the Netflix adaptation of this particular book in the series because it could be the regency screwball comedy we all need.

Jews Don’t Count
I find myself disagreeing with some of Baddiel’s points but I cannot argue with the key central point that while racists and anti-semites still continue to attack Jews people cannot sit back with the comfortable notion that Jews are so normal in every day life that they don’t need to be protected from these attacks.
I do think he spends way too much time criticizing the Left on their handling of real or perceived anti-semitism without equally sticking the boot into the obvious villains on the right who made much political hay while continuing to be quietly racist and anti-semitic.

The only thing to note here is that I planned to listen to all the Discworld Guards books and got stuck at the final hurdle. The audiobook of Snuff is an unfortunate dud and I had to stop listening. I may try again some day.
