Rated Equivalents 8/10

Rated Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War 8/10

Rated Empathy 6/10

You know, this was surprisingly good for what is the YA book adaptation of an X-Files episode. The writing at the end feels a bit rushed, and not nearly enough characterization time is spent with Scully compared to Mulder, but it's overall not bad.

Rated February's Son 8/10

<div>A good, tense mystery where you already have an idea of who is behind it all, but done in a way where the process of getting the person is still interesting, and there are a few surprises along the way, of course. I don't know if it was entirely necessary to have the between-chapter POV moments from the person responsible though. While they do demonstrate the unravelling of this person's mind, it's not anything we don't also learn later through other characters. Minor quibble.</div>

Rated Foundation 7/10

<div>I read this because I wanted to understand the show better, even though I already knew that the show took certain liberties with what "Empire" means. This was clarifying! I don't know if I'm in a hurry to read the other books in the series, but I liked this one.</div>

Rated Frankenstein: The 1818 Text 8/10

<div>This Big Finish audioplay adaptation of Frankenstein is an enjoyable one. Arthur Darvill is a good Victor Frankenstein, a bit less melodramatic than Dan Stevens' version in the straight-from-text audiobook version I listened to a few years ago.</div>
