I read a lot of books last year, and some of my favorites had to do with the end of the world. A lot has changed (i.e. gotten even worse) in the real world from when I first started drafting this. The best fiction makes us grapple with tough questions, which I hope all these books will for you!

I started the spear cuts through water recently and am itching to get back to it! Focusing on shorter books right now to reach my book goal for the year though

If you haven’t read it, highly recommend jimenez’s other novel, the vanishing birds!!

Definitely like it! I feel like a lot of contemporary romance “series” are interconnected/companions and not actual sequels, and it’s fun when the other characters make cameos. I will say that personally I still like to read them in order even though you don’t have to

The Singing Hills Cycle is all about storytelling, the creation of myths, the fluid nature of reality as it is relayed and remembered. A great novella series to sink your teeth into

Out of the three I’ve read so far, this one might be the easiest to jump into. The story is pretty straightforward, the action is consistent, and it’s actually the shortest at not quite 100 pages

such a creative character!! hoping to see more of ART in the other novellas :))

Definitely the best! Though tbh I don’t read that much sci fi with robots so they don’t have much competition for me haha

I need to get the rest of the series from the library!! I only own System Collapse, which is the newest one

World building has to happen faster, tighter, and I think that's not my preference. It's been almost two years since I read All Systems Red, so I wonder how much my experience will improve as I read more in this series, in hopefully quicker succession, and can benefit from less needed ramp up

I'm always surprised by how long it takes me to read novellas and shorter books.
This was barely over 150 pages, and took me over a week of reading some dozen of pages a day to finish.
Interestingly, the pacing required in novellas almost makes it harder for me to read for longer periods of time!!

The Broken Earth trilogy by N. K. Jemisin!! Exquisite writing, world building, and characters
