When Lieutenant Iari hears screams in the night, she expects to interrupt a robbery or break up a fight. Instead she discovers a murder with an impossible suspect: a riev, one of the battle-mecha decommissioned after the end of the last conflict, repurposed for manual labor. Riev don't kill people. And yet, clearly, one has. Iari sets out to find it.

Stacks Fischer is a killer for hire. For more than three decades, he’s loyally served the Syndicate Corporation as its most-feared and respected enforcer around the solar system. He’s buried the company’s dirty laundry six feet deep, no matter who had to be taken out to do it. Now, Stacks has a problem - he’s losing his mind to incurable form of dementia, and unwittingly spilling corporate secrets in public. When SynCorp decides Fischer has outlived his usefulness, they decide it's time to permanently retire him. But Stacks isn’t quite ready to go.

His mother’s medical treatment won’t pay for itself, and his father is already working three jobs to try to make ends meet. But it might just be his lucky day: Mr. Edwards has another job for him. It’s more delivery work, but not the usual kind. You might even say that it’s out of this world. Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers, and the pay is fantastic.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal.

Publisher's summary
Rory Thorne is a princess with 13 fairy blessings, the most important of which is to see through flattery and platitudes. As the eldest daughter, she always imagined she'd inherit her father's throne and govern the interplanetary Thorne Consortium.
Then, her father is assassinated, her mother gives birth to a son, and Rory is betrothed to the prince of a distant world.
When Rory arrives in her new home, she uncovers a treacherous plot to unseat her newly betrothed and usurp his throne. An unscrupulous minister has conspired to name himself Regent to the minor (and somewhat foolish) prince. With only her wits and a small team of allies, Rory must outmaneuver the Regent and rescue the prince.
How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse is a feminist reimagining of familiar fairy tale tropes and a story of resistance and self-determination - how small acts of rebellion can lead a princess to not just save herself, but change the course of history.

If you’ve ever felt ineffective, invisible, or inarticulate, chances are you weren’t actually any of those things. Those feelings may instead have been the result of a lack of awareness we all seem to have for how our words, actions, and even our mere presence affect other people. In You Have More Influence Than You Think, social psychologist Vanessa Bohns draws from her original research to illustrate why we fail to recognize the influence we have, and how that lack of awareness can lead us to miss opportunities or accidentally misuse our power.

Jessamyn Teoh is closeted, broke, and moving back to Malaysia, a country she left when she was a toddler. So when Jess starts hearing voices, she chalks it up to stress. But there's only one voice in her head, and it claims to be the ghost of her estranged grandmother, Ah Ma. In life Ah Ma was a spirit medium, the avatar of a mysterious deity called the Black Water Sister. Now she's determined to settle a score against a gang boss who has offended the god - and she's decided Jess is going to help her do it.

Highly entertaining if a bit hard to follow
This is a great writer who has an interesting narrative voice. Contemporary in its ironies and sarcasms, apparently technologically advanced, but kind of old-fashioned in certain attitudes. Really a nice combination. The story was sometimes a bit hard to follow, mostly due to unfamiliar sci-fi/fantasy vocabulary. But I did enjoy it, probably enough to go to the next book in the series, and I’m not generally a reader of this genre. Highly entertaining, as I said.

Marvelously surprised by this book
Typically I prefer more serious SciFi. However, this book broke the mold entirely! The writing is wonderful and the story is bright, immersive, and fun. With everything going on in the world, this is the best book to escape into. Joy of Harry Potter, whit of Asimov, and whimsy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

A delight, if not exactly science fiction
I prefer hard SF with no true good or evil but instead shades of gray, but I did enjoy this fairy tale in sheep's clothing that was none of those things. It has a lot of charm and wit, and in this story of monarchy in space, goodness and love ultimately prevail and I guess needed that because I found this book delightful. There's no actual multiverse to be seen in this novel but the heroine is intelligent and resourceful and her friends are loyal and kick-ass in their respective disciplines. I thought it was very well-written and well-read, and I would absolutely purchase the second book in the series.

A wonderful blend of science and fantasy fiction
A truly enjoyable twist of a familiar story in a science fiction world. The author has a great wit and style that asks the listener or reader to keep up without talking down to them.
The world building is fresh and inviting without bring overwhelming or contrived. Suitable for all ages.

Great read
I've never read a book with a 'world' quite like this. I really liked how it all played out in the end, and would recommend it.
