Ah, the second of the Sworn Soldier books, and also the least exciting.
Listen, I liked it, I did. Alex Easton is charming. And maybe it suffers from coming right after my favorite book of the year. But it was just okay. No regrets, just… okay.

It’s a fucking Amigara Fault hole shaped exactly like me, and I was so happy to come out the other side as a stretchy weird DRR monster.
That’s a bad metaphor. In emotional. Read the book! Of Monsters and Mainframes! Do it!

I’m gonna do the thing I never do and tag the author, @barbaratruelove.bsky.social, because I want to gush about how much I loved this book. It was ridiculous, it was funny, it was fucking sweet. It’s got AIs with feelings, it’s got monsters doing their best. I want everyone to read it.

Fucking hell, I’m in the break room crying about a fucking Spaceship Versus Dracula book. And yet!
This is my favorite thing I’ve read this year bar none, and as you can see above I read a lot! I fell in love from page 1. I bought a copy last night because I needed to own it. It’s so good.

Yeah, what the hell? I didn't make out with a clown to be the SECOND biggest slut at the public library!

I love shitty magical artifacts. The stuff that barely works, or does something utterly niche, but the protagonists find a perfect use for it.
Two outcasts at the mages guild are sent to the boonies to catalog low-value artifacts. They make friends and fall in love and it’s FUCKING CUTE AS H*CK.

I think I would call it a D one hundredths, in part because "hundredths" is amusingly unpleasant to say. Really, "dths" is one of the least-pleasing phonotactically valid combos, and that's very funny to me.

Two weeks ago I met a pretty girl at a club and after some comical shenanigans trying to get back in touch with one another (she mis-typed her number into my phone and had to track me down at work to correct it!) we did, and we're getting lunch together in a few hours.

That’s the most exquisitely huggable Pokémon I’ve ever seen.

Oh, utter tosh.
But what am I NOT gonna read my namesake’s silly little comic books?
And utter tosh can be fun, if approached with the right attitude.
