It looks like I'll need to reread Hunted by the Sky with a physical copy. Because this was not a great audiobook experience for me. The male narrator's attempts at "feminine" voices for the female characters were laughable at best, cringe-y at worst. I ended up only half-paying attention to the story.

Preliminary review and initial thoughts:

Recommended with caution. Full review to follow.

Conquest is an Afro-futurist urban fantasy (with fearsome dragons!) that, unfortunately, wasn't for me. Full review to follow.

I struggled in the beginning — the first 50 pages were brutal — but once I reached the 200-page mark, I flew through the rest of this giant chunk of a novel. I have lots of mixed feelings but predominantly positive ones so yeah, pick this one up.
