Excellent. David Copperfield retelling set in Appalachia. This was a timely read because I had just recently finished EMPIRE OF PAIN. Barbara Kingsolver is a great writer, and although this book is long, I was never eager for it to be over. It made for a great book club discussion as well.

A good mystery, but maybe a bit too preachy for me. I liked the setting, and the writing is good.

This gender-swapped King Arthur retelling is a lot of fun with a fantastic ensemble cast. In this installment, Arthur is supposed to be getting married. Emry is having trouble controlling her magic. Guinevere is carrying on with Emmett. Lancelot is a harried squire. So much to love. I'll definitely read book 3.

Miki was definitely the best part of this book. Murderbot continues to care for humans and wish all they needed to do was watch media. Sometimes these short books are a bit too abrupt. I don't really like battle scenes, but the battles are over so quickly that I don't know what happened.
