Tak! reviewed The West Passage by Jared Pechaček
When the Guardian of the West Passage died in her bed, the women of Grey …
The West Passage
4 stars
This is eldritch horror without the Cthulhu. It is weird and obscure and extremely obsessed with architectural minutiae. It rambles quite a bit in the middle, but that's honestly consistent with the tone of the world.

I feel like I don't know enough about architecture to read this book

The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain is a deeply dark yet eventually hopeful look at the continuation of current societal structures into space.

The Deep Sky
4 stars
A great combination scifi thriller / space whodunit. It's much more Serious than The Stardust Grail, but explores some similar themes, e.g. betrayal and loss.
Tak! reviewed Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Candon

The Archive Undying
4 stars
The Archive Undying is a kind of postapocalyptic fantasy kaiju novel that (d?)evolves into a philosophical treatise on the nature of the self. It's entertaining and extremely well written, but I got plot twist exhaustion after a while.

Tak! reviewed Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei
Save one world. Doom her own.
From the acclaimed author of The Deep Sky comes …
The Stardust Grail
4 stars
A story about friendship, betrayal, and the aftereffects of colonization (in space!) with heists.
The aliens are alien, there's some interesting exploration of wormholes and first contact dynamics, and the action is engaging and unpredictable.
Tak! commented on Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz
From sci-fi visionary and acclaimed author Annalee Newitz comes Automatic Noodle, a cozy near-future novella …
COVER REVEAL! It's my next book, "Automatic Noodle," a cozy, near-future story about a group of food service bots in an abandoned ghost kitchen who take over their own delivery app account. They rebrand as a neighborhood lunch spot, and start making tasty hand-pulled noodles. Set in San Francisco after a horrible war, this is about rebuilding and finding love after political disaster.

Alien Clay
5 stars
Another great Tchaikovsky take on the truly alien, this time with added revolutionary fervor. If you like near-to-mid-future scifi rooted in existing social issues and aliens that aren't just humans with weird foreheads, Alien Clay is for you!
