finished reading Akarnae 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
by Lynette Noni.
Fairly derivative YA fantasy: teenage girl crosses into a parallel world, where she becomes a fish-out-of-water at a school for talented students, and discovers she's the only one who can prevent the obliteration of humanity. Some ingrained patriarchy - why do female heroes always have to be hot? Totally needless. Nice enough but nothing special.

finished reading Sleeping Giants 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Sylvain Neuval.
An alien artifact triggers a race to harness its immense power. Told mostly via interview transcripts, which kinda works (I liked how the interviewer gradually becomes more of a protagonist, and more invested in the interviewees) but doesn't do justice to the action sequences. Smoking Man X-Files vibes.

I've finished: Raising Stony Mayhall by Daryl Gregory
A wonderful zombie novel for people that don't like the killing fest that is most zombie media.
Written in sections, each part explores new ideas about zombies, exploring their nature and treating them like an extreme type of marginalized people.
Each turn the story takes supplies an interesting new twist that takes you on a new path away from the cookie cutter version of the Zombie Apocalypse story.
I never expected to encounter a 5-Star Zombie novel.

What if a neural implant therapy for stroke resulted in your spouting ads for the corporation that manufactured the inplant?
@MarissaLingen 's latest in Clarkesworld feels absolutely like something that could be happening now.
