Sci-Fi Summer Wrap-Up

The Sci-Fi Summer Readathon wraps up this evening. Thanks, Michelle, for hosting again this year.

I finished several books:

• Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan; finished June 8, review
• Bishop to Queen by Lexy Wolfe; finished June 10, review coming in July
• Finder by Suzanne Palmer; finished June 15, review
• The Caledonian Gambit by Dan Moren; finished June 22, review
• “Pilot Error” by Dan Moren; finished June 22
• A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine; finished June 22, review

And started a couple that I haven’t quite finished yet:

• Westside by W.M. Akers
• The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

My favorite was A Memory Called Empire. I loved the world-building and the characters. It’s also one of the finalists for this year’s Hugo Award.

My least favorite was Bishop to Queen. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters and the story itself wasn’t full enough for me.
