Ms Kat finished reading Ferryman by Justin Cronin
I really enjoyed this one. A Brave New World-genre book but with a very different purpose and ending.

This was advertised to me in an email from Kobo for cheap, so I thought, why not? I enjoyed The Passage books.

Looking forward to this one, I really enjoyed this author's novella from last year's Hugos.
Ms Kat finished reading Ogres by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Eh, this was fine. It was compellingly written so that I wanted to keep reading it, but the fundamental plot of post-apocalyptic slave society is a bit tired, and I'm not sure it had anything meaningful to add.

Really enjoyed this, as I do with most of MRK's books. Took some faff to get access to a copy as it seems to be unavailable in the Aus Kobo store, but was worth the wait and effort.
Ms Kat finished reading Tidepool by Nicole Willson
Yeah, this one wasn't great. Wouldn't recommend it. The writing is unpolished, the story goes on too long, and the perpetual gaslighting of the main character really got on my nerves.

Ah, more clarity. It's horror, and the tentacles are a reference to the Deep Ones. Maybe not steampunk, just Edwardian.

I enjoyed this. It's a story written by a number of authors, who write a couple of chapters each. Obviously well edited too, as I didn't notice abrupt changes in style from chapter to chapter.
