Surprisingly I read a few books this year that I rated 5 stars over on Goodreads, so here is the list. Clockwork Boys by T. Kingfisher My rating: 5 of 5 stars It made me laugh, took less than a day to read and I really liked the characters. Interesting premise, nothing too new in the fantasy genre, but still interesting enough to keep me reading. Def a character driven book, but the characters are great and as usual for this author, the characters are as practical as possible View all my reviews The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers My rating: 5 of 5 stars Very character driven story and a lot of varied characters of type and sex. If you want big space battles this story isn't for you, this story is more about how all these species interact with each other and live in outer space. Which I actually found refreshing since a lot of sci-fi is more about who to kill next lol View all my reviews Embers of War by Gareth L. P...

After London: or, Wild England by Richard Jefferies My rating: 3 of 5 stars More like 3.5 stars. slow paced but the world is wonderfully described. Very very early post apocalyptic SF (sort of) and it shows in the many many left open threads but its a good take on what might happen to society if everything goes tits up. I don't need to know what caused the problem so that didn't bug me about the novel, puts the reader in the same boat as the characters since they don't know either.
