Not as good as expected
4 stars
This was sold to me with pretty strong promises it did not quite keep. However, it's still good and does hold up.

Abstract Reader reviewed The Infinite and the Divine by Robert Rath
Cool new perspective
4 stars
This book is written fully from the point of view of non-humans, humans only playing a minor role. That's a lot of fun!

Abstract Reader reviewed Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett
Lots of payoff
5 stars
There's a great cast of characters which grows on you. Later books keep calling back to the events of previous books and the included short stories.

Abstract Reader reviewed The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (The Goblin Emperor, #1)
A vividly imagined fantasy of court intrigue and dark magics in a steampunk-inflected world, by …
Surprisingly comforting
5 stars
It starts out reading like a palace intrigue story, with many scary and daunting things looming in the future of the protagonist, once he starts making friend and allies, things turn around for him. The last ~100 pages are just pleasant pay off for all the characters introduced and bonds built, which was very pleasant to read. All of it still feels earned as well.
