Very obviously a webcomic only loosely adapted to a serialized format. Pacing suffers, but it was alright.

Ember Hearth finished reading Muted by Miranda Mundt
Ember Hearth finished reading Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri
Really excellent! I was a little skeptical going in, because I'm not a huge fan of the knights + dragons + witches kind of fantasy, and I'm certainly not a fan of romance plots, but it's just an excellently written book. The magic system is unique and serves the themes of the book beautifully, and the world building is captivating. It runs a little lengthy, but that can be forgiven. I think anyone interested in designing magic systems or fantasy worlds should be taking note.

Ember Hearth finished reading All That We See or Seem by Ken Liu
This didn't really connect with me, to be honest. I often found that the rules and tools that characters resolved challenges with felt unclear, or they'd resolve a puzzle / clue in a way that just didn't feel right. It ends up with the characters not really feeling as clever as the book wants you to believe that they are. Basically I had trouble keeping up keyfabe.
It's also a little hard to avoid the fact that the author is really really insistent that the AI that all the characters make use of (and which the main character specializes in) is a direct descendant of LLMs. Repeatedly. And in ways you can't really ignore. But also rarely actually addresses what the consequences of this might look like in any manor other than offhand.
There's definitely still some good parts, and several scenes really are clever, but I just …

Ember Hearth finished reading Escape from Incel Island by Margaret Killjoy
I went into this expecting goofy comedy dunking on incels (and was looking forward to it), but was delighted to find fleshed out characters and nuance?? and also goofy comedy dunking on incels.
Recommended for almost anybody tbh. It's a short novel and it's engaging right from the start. A delightful experience.
