Rated The Struggle for Mastery: Britain, 1066 - 1284 8/10
<div>Great overview of this period of history in Britain. Focuses primarily on political history but touches on other aspects as well like economy. Very good bibliography to dive deeper into certain topics which is another reason why this is a great intro book. </div>

Rated Lightning Runes 8/10
Still enjoying this series, it's comforting to read something in Turtledove's distinctive voice. We get a bit more of the characters' back story and there's a few new characters, fun alternate history with magic, but the main plot seemed a bit meandering and wrapped up pretty neatly. Fun to read and I'll read the next one too.
Rated November Road 10/10
Very well written, maybe the ending is a little too pat. Draws the main characters clearly and they all sound different. I did like the short epilogue though. I'll look for more by this author.
Rated Everybody's Perfect 8/10
It took me a few chapters to get into this one and even then I would pick it up and put it down. Each chapter is a different viewpoint during overlapping stories in an interesting but heavily Venetian fantasy city, all different intelligent nearly human species. Kind of ambitious and I think there might be other people who like this book more than I do...the writing is excellent as you get to see most of the viewpoint characters in the other chapters and they don't always look like they do inside their own heads.
Rated In the Devil Wind 10/10
Good conclusion to the series, eventful and with Stark connecting with some old friends and still getting in a bunch of trouble. I'll miss it but I'm also looking forward to [a:Richard Kadrey|37557|Richard Kadrey|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1684250711p2/37557.jpg]'s next book...

Rated Locked In 8/10
Wow, a lot of stuff happens in this one and some old mysteries get solved. I think I read somewhere that there won't be any more of these but this is a decent place to wrap up.
Rated Blacktail 10/10
I loved [b:The Library at Mount Char|26892110|The Library at Mount Char|Scott Hawkins|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1453225113l/26892110._SY75_.jpg|42797715] and this is hardly like that book at all, except for being very engaging and well-written. Most of the characters are animals and it almost reads like an epic legend, but from very personal viewpoints. (Also it's not very long so it's a quick read.)
Rated Buckeye 10/10
Very well done and does a great job drawing a picture of some connected families over generations. Makes me want to look up some more of his writing.

Rated The Downloaded 2: Ghosts in the Machine 8/10
This was a pretty good follow up to the first one. It is short and it's mostly plot, with some kind of twist coming almost every chapter. Definitely more idea based than character based, although there are a few different viewpoint characters. I'm not sure if there needs to be a third one.
Rated What We Can Know 10/10
This one was excellent. It took me a few chapters to really get into it but then it snowballed from there until I could barely put it down. A lot of it is the characters and the academic setting and the different viewpoints, plus the realistic near-ish future. This book has a lot to say about history and literature and the study of those things, also none of the characters really come off that well.
