Since the ratings on the Bookwyrms don't impact authors' livelihoods, I feel comfortable getting more granular and using all the stars, so if you see a 3/5 rating on a book I say I liked, this is a rough breakdown of what I mean by my stars:
- ★☆☆☆☆ I was offended. I think this book has serious flaws.
- ★★☆☆☆ Not really my thing, and may have been a struggle.
- ★★★☆☆ Liked it, maybe even a lot. Might re-read.
- ★★★★☆ Loved this, and I want to talk about it.
- ★★★★★ I am obsessed. I may even be shaking right now.
As always, the text of my review is a much more accurate representation of my feelings.

Kind of gave up on these ever gracing my doorstep again. Shame as part of the merger that the material quality joins Analog et al as a more temporary/disposable product (the old s&sf mag was sturdier than many a $30 paperback).
Let's see what the creamy filling has to offer, though...

Loved the detective/investigatory angle. Reminds me of some of the old Asimov robot stories in a way, while introducing more of the politics and ethos of Preservation.
Pleasant little bite of Murderbot with some great Pin-Lee moments, but definitely not as heavy (plot wise, or--speaking subjectively--emotionally) as some of the other entries.
