For my last newsletter post of 2024, I've rounded up the 10 books that I enjoyed the most in the last year. If there's a thread that connects these reads, it's the idea of power and how characters contend with it. Read it here: transfer-orbit.ghost.io/sci-fi-fanta... - ThreadSky

Oh amazing, thank you so much! I'm really pleased you enjoyed the book so much!

I'm glad to see The Mercy of Gods on your list. I was almost scared to read it because of my emotional attachment to The Expanse series (I miss my adventures in that universe, though I can always read them again!), but I really liked it. Did you know @abraham.bsky.social is here?

It’s an excellent read! I’m … a big fan of the expanse, and I was pleased with it.

thanks man! So good to see FIGHT ME on there too!

I have a bunch of posts in the hopper for the next couple of days: a longer post, a “most anticipated for 2025” list, a January book list, and some more for next week.

Thanks for the recommendations! My favorites of the year include Big Time by Ben Winters, The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, and The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard.

Tainted Cup is on my to-read list!

Coming in late, but I read Moonbound on your recommendation and really enjoyed it! Next up are Bright Sword and Fight Me. Thanks as always for your lists!
