Library Journal: Lakshminarayan’s sequel to Interstellar Megachef is a compelling story of culinary delights, planetary xenophobia, and being true to oneself…. Readers will devour this novel, with its multiple points of view, sharp writing, and a constant pace, plus a slow-burn romance.
Publishers Weekly: Butcher shifts gears in his emotional 18th urban fantasy featuring professional wizard Harry Dresden (after 2020’s Battle Ground), focusing on the character’s struggles, over the course of one year, to come to terms with recent devastating events. These include the deaths of tens of thousands of Chicagoans, massive infrastructure damage, Dresden’s expulsion from the White Council of Wizardry, and the murder of his significant other, Karrin Murphy. Unfortunately, the threats to his city and those dear to him haven’t stopped just because Dresden is processing so much trauma; the corpses of the fallen attract ghouls who hunger for human flesh, and the damage to the city’s streets makes supplying its residents with food and other necessities extremely difficult. If that wasn’t enough, Dresden finds that he has another loved one at risk: his half brother Thomas, who is battling a malevolent possessing spirit. The high-stakes plotlines keep the pages turning as rapidly as ever, but this installment’s greatest strength lies in its exploration of Dresden’s mental state as his resilience is tested as never before. It’s not the ideal jumping-in place for newcomers, but those invested will appreciate this more intimate, and ultimately more optimistic, outing for Dresden.

Washington Post: “It’s fun when slight little shows — especially comedies — overperform by improving on a silly premise. In Apple TV’s goofy space dystopia, “Murderbot,” Alexander Skarsgard plays a crabby, semi-obsolete “SecUnit” (or “private security construct” — sort of a computer with human tissue) that started the series by quietly rebelling against its overlords. Specifically, it hacked its “governor module” to watch a bunch of movies and TV, and it must now hide its newfound sentience (and fandom) from the incompetent humans it’s forced to protect. The series was one of the year’s weirder and more successful television experiments. Created by Weitz brothers Paul and Chris (who also made “American Pie” and “About a Boy”) the show, an adaptation of the first book of Martha Wells’s “The Murderbot Diaries,” makes extraordinary — and original, and very funny — use of Skarsgard’s almost inhumanly handsome and distant screen presence.”
