The Birthday Of The World (And Other Stories)★★★★☆
Ursula K. Le Guin A collection of stories set in Le Guin’s Hainish universe, on worlds with vastly different gender relations. Plus a couple of stand-alone stories. Mostly ranging from good to great, with Solitude and Paradises Lost being my favorites of the batch.
The Wind that Sweeps the Stars★★★★☆
Greg Keyes Betrayed by an empire, Yash has one night to assassinate as many magicians as possible, set in a fantasy world inspired by southwest indigenous American mythology.
