Neon Nights: A Cyberpunk Detective Thriller by Anna Mocikat I can only marginally recommend this. I was surprised to find it's not her first book; the characters are side characters from one of her other series. I say that because there's a lot of stuff I see in first novels: too much...

There have been some MCU things I've liked (Wandavision and Hawkeye) but I can't help but feel that everything since Endgame has been a wheel-spinning waste of time and money, and that their efforts would have been better spent working on the X-Men.

Witch King by Martha Wells concerns the kidnap of the demon Kai and his best friend, and them being imprisoned under the sea (water interferes with a demon's powers). He gets free, frees his bestie, and they then try to discover who did this to them, and why. There is a LOT of world-building in...

For a good example of 'what happens if we change fundamental physics', read Stephan Baxter's novel 'Raft', set in a universe where the force of gravity is a billion times stronger than it is in ours.

The Mage Wars series by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon. So, I didn't enjoy these nearly as well as I have other Valdemar books, and I might just lay that at the feet of Dixon, Lackey's husband. Mainly because two of the books have nothing to do with the Mage Wars. Part of this is my...
