Naomi Novik’s latest collection came out last September without me noticing, which is a shame because I loved her Scholomance series and I’ve been meaning to read a lot more of her work. I really enjoyed the collection, even the stories I didn’t 100% understand. Below are some (much too short) summaries: you can’t really

SEMI-SPOILERS}: Helmed by Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, The Last of Us Season 2 picks up five years after the events of Season 1 where Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
I swear I’m not doing this on purpose, but the next three Hugo-nominated novelettes also have a theme, and this one is loneliness.

And that’s it. We’re down. I look up into an alien sky. Adrian Tchaikovsky’s stories have made multiple appearances at Pixelated Geek, and this year he has two books nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel (Jeez, Adrian, save some for the rest of the class.) For this book we return to a favorite
In what I hope will become a regular feature, this week I’m looking at 2021’s Dark Knights of Steel, which a friend just gave to me last month because he was appalled I’d never read it. The simplest way to explain it is that it’s all the DC superheroes but reimagined for medieval times. But
Created by Tony Gilroy, Andor Season 2 follows the continuation and conclusion of the five-year journey of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and others on the path towards the events of Rogue One.
