I loved the horror elements of this book. Very fun and gory with some serious points on alcoholism and domestic violence.

I didn't really enjoy the unsatisfying will they or won't they vibes. It seems like it will span the whole series. The two main characters hating each other after every positive or sexy encounter gets very old after a while. I couldn't get into the world building or magic of this world either.

An excellent, funny and short sci-fi novella about a self-aware security droid figuring out it's life who goes by the name of (secretly) Murderbot. Stories like these remind me why I love science fiction so much. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

A very dark fantasy fairy tale retelling. Very enjoyable and keeps you wondering how it's going to end.
