Being You Recommends
I highly recommend that you read Being You, and then that you spend a good while thinking about it.

Galileo's Middle Finger Recommends
This is ultimately why Galileo's Middle Finger is a vitally important work, and why I recommend that people read it in spite of its flaws.

The Mark and the Void Loved
The Mark and the Void is my favorite of the three novels but this review will be the shortest because it would superfluous. This review by Slate magazine is excellent, covers all the bases, and it's what has gotten me to read the book to begin with. I'll just focus on the magic.

Seven Surrenders Loved
As with movies, it's very rare for a book sequel to be so much better than the original. Seven Surrenders is rated 0.34 points higher on Goodreads than Lightning, which is the gap between an average book and "best of" lists.

Too Like the Lightning Mixed on
This preamble is very pertinent to Lightning. The best facets of the novel are really good, and the worst parts are really bad.
