"The maid who brought her morning tea and laid the folded towel across the hot-water can had an experienced look; when she drew the curtains she looked out upon the day with no curiosity. She had seen it already."
I loved how it ended. I really had no idea where it was going.
"The Water Outlaws" by SL Huang. Hard copy that I got for Christmas 2024 I believe. Really fun, but I had a hard time keeping the characters' names straight.
LHC #319: "City of Lies" by Sam Hawke. Hard copy; 3 copies in the TPL. Not for me perhaps.
LHC #320: "School of Shards" by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko. eBook. Satisfying ending to the trilogy. I definitely liked it better than book 2. Glad I read it.
LHC #321: "Wayward Son" by Rainbow Rowell. audiobook. Great road trip book. I started this in the car driving back and forth to KW, and it was such a delight.
