My available reading time fell off a cliff earlier this year and I haven't had much of a chance to keep up with new work. What really stood out to you this year?

Books, novellas, short fiction - anything goes, I'd love to hear about your favorites

Technically published 2021-2023, but didn't start reading it until recently but: Adrian Tchaikovsky's The Final Architecture has grabbed me and pulled me in hard. It's popcorn sci fi (all flavour, minimal substance) at its finest. Scratches the epic space opera "ship and crew" found family itch.

Can tell it's him though -- having read some of his previous books: the aliens are insectoid and at least one character always has to have the author's obsession with fencing. ;)

Feels like Reynolds in parts (gothic horror), but equal parts The Expanse and Mass Effect. Popcorn 🍿
