[Fists, the Other Shore, and Alternate Worlds] Books I Like and My Reviews
Most of these are books I'm currently following or have finished. They're all pretty good, with some having especially brilliant concepts and others showing exceptional writing. (I'll share more of my thoughts on authors I'm familiar with. For those I don't know well, I'll just say whether they're good. That's enough.) (I won't remove some books that fall apart later, but I'll add follow-up reviews.)
