The Bone Shard Emperor
4 stars
A very good continuation from The Bone Shard Daughter.
My one issue with the writing around the interpersonal interactions is that it relies heavily on the characters all assuming the worst of everything each other say and do, and refusing to communicate with each other - which is becoming the third-millennium version of "forcing characters to make irrational decisions to make the plot exciting" in my imo.

Tak! reviewed This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar
This Is How You Lose The Time War
5 stars
The first quarter reminded me of Doomsday Book and One Day All This Will Be Yours, and the last quarter reminded me of that Iain M. Banks book (I won't say which one because it would spoil either this or that if you haven't read both, but go read Culture (except for Consider Phlebas)).
The prose was everything I've come to expect from Max Gladstone, and now I'll have to try something else by El-Mohtar.
