Lots of scifi and fantasy.The Works of Vermin. Exceptionally well written. Not an ounce of flab anywhere.The Carryx series, 2 books so far. Best villains ever.Tainted Cup and sequel. Sherlock Holmes meets Godzilla.Goblin EmperorThe Prophet (Gibran)Los Alamos (Kanon)Hyperion (reread)Finally, a shout out to the best book I read in 2025: Terra Ignota. Yes, the whole series.
>The Carryx seriesWeird. There's a species called Carryx too in a series from James S.A. Corey called "The Captive's War".
That's the one I mean! Can never remember the names of the books/series, hence the gesture.
Hiron Ennes is brilliant. Deep without fluff or lenghty exposition. If you liked The Works of Vermin - her other book, Leech is also brilliant. Another very good gothic fantasy novel is Tower of Mud and Straw by Yaroslav Barsukov.
