I’ve spent the last few months following the recommendations from these and (for the most part) loving them, so thought I’d contribute back:
The Girl With All The Gifts, one of the few things I’ve read las month NOT recommended here, is a fresh, heartwrenching, intelligent and often rational take on the zombie apocalypse genre (not one I am normally fond of, either!)
Thief’s Magic reads almost like a Lawrence Watt-Evans book; it is unfortunately the first in a trilogy and makes no pretence otherwise, so you get more of an introduction than a complete story, but nevertheless a fantasy well worth starting.
Just read The Girl With All The Gifts and really enjoyed it, thanks for the recommendation. It makes an interesting comparison with Saya no Uta (visual novel), which puts the opposite emotional slant on somewhat similar actions.
