Story
In 1963, in a Siberian prison, former nuclear specialist Valery Kolkhanov has mastered what it takes to survive: the right connections to the guards for access to food and cigarettes, the right pair of warm boots, and the right attitude toward the small pleasures of life so he won’t go insane. But one day, all that changes: Valery’s university mentor steps in and sweeps him from the frozen camp to a mysterious unnamed city. It houses a set of nuclear reactors, and surrounding it is a forest so damaged it looks like the trees have rusted from within.

Avra Helvaçi, former field agent of the Arasti Ministry of Intelligence, has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the world—and the only place to flee with a secret that big is the open sea. To find a buyer with deep enough pockets, Avra must ask for help from his on-again, off-again ex, the pirate Captain Teveri az-Haffar. They are far from happy to see him, but together, they hatch a plan: take the information to the isolated pirate republic of the Isles of Lost Souls, fence it, profit.

Jem begins to track down the people who were there the night Toby died – a close circle of friends once known as the ‘Seven Wonders’ for their charm and talent – only to find them as tormented and broken as himself. All of them knew and loved Toby at Oxford. Could one of them really be his killer? As Jem grows closer to uncovering what happened that night, his pursuer grows bolder, making increasingly terrifying attempts to silence him for good. Will exposing Toby's killer put to rest the shadows that have darkened Jem’s life for so long? Or will the gruesome truth only put him in more danger?

Story
Joe Tournier has a bad case of amnesia. His first memory is of stepping off a train in the 19th-century French colony of England. The only clue Joe has about his identity is a century-old postcard of a Scottish lighthouse that arrives in London the same month he does. Written in illegal English - instead of French - the postcard is signed only with the letter 'M', but Joe is certain whoever wrote it knows him far better than he currently knows himself and he’s determined to find the writer.

An astonishing historical novel set in the shadowy, magical forests of South America, which draws on the captivating world of the international best seller The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. Deep in uncharted Peru, the holy town of Bedlam stands at the edge of a forest. The shrine statues move, and anyone who crosses the border dies. But somewhere inside are cinchona trees, whose bark yields quinine: the only known treatment for malaria. On the other side of the Pacific, it is 1859, and India is ravaged by the disease.

Like all Necromancers, Cassius Corbin grew up knowing one irrevocable truth: death comes for us all. It was a lesson he learned well when his mother was murdered by fellow witches. Six years later, he is back in the town of Winslow, Massachusetts, to attend Tennebrose University. But that's not the only reason. While he's home, he intends to track down a magical folio stolen from his family centuries ago. Once he finds it, he'll finally be everything the witches in Winslow fear and the Corbin name will be respected once again—as long as Graeme Hewitt stays out of his way.

Publisher's summary
A thrilling queer sci-fi novel about a marriage of convenience between a Mars politician and an Earth refugee.
In the wake of an environmental catastrophe, January, once a principal in London's Royal Ballet, has become a refugee in Tharsis, the terraformed colony on Mars. There, January’s life is dictated by his status as an Earthstronger—a person whose body is not adjusted to lower gravity and so poses a danger to those born on, or naturalized to, Mars. January’s job choices, housing, and even transportation are dictated by this second-class status, and now a xenophobic politician named Aubrey Gale is running on a platform that would make it all worse: Gale wants all Earthstrongers to naturalize, a process that is always disabling and sometimes deadly.
When Gale chooses January for an on-the-spot press junket interview that goes horribly awry, January’s life is thrown into chaos, but Gale’s political fortunes are damaged, too. Gale proposes a solution to both their problems: a five year made-for-the-press marriage that would secure January’s future without naturalization and ensure Gale’s political success. But when January accepts the offer, he discovers that Gale is not at all like they appear in the press. They're kind, compassionate, and much more difficult to hate than January would prefer. As their romantic relationship develops, the political situation worsens, and January discovers Gale has an enemy, someone willing to destroy all of Tharsis to make them pay—and January may be the only person standing in the way.
Immersive and utterly timely, Natasha Pulley’s novel is a gripping story about privilege, strength, and life across class divisions, perfect for readers of Sarah Gailey and Tamsyn Muir.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In 1963, in a Siberian prison, former nuclear specialist Valery Kolkhanov has mastered what it takes to survive: the right connections to the guards for access to food and cigarettes, the right pair of warm boots, and the right attitude toward the small pleasures of life so he won’t go insane. But one day, all that changes: Valery’s university mentor steps in and sweeps him from the frozen camp to a mysterious unnamed city. It houses a set of nuclear reactors, and surrounding it is a forest so damaged it looks like the trees have rusted from within.

Story
Joe Tournier has a bad case of amnesia. His first memory is of stepping off a train in the 19th-century French colony of England. The only clue Joe has about his identity is a century-old postcard of a Scottish lighthouse that arrives in London the same month he does. Written in illegal English - instead of French - the postcard is signed only with the letter 'M', but Joe is certain whoever wrote it knows him far better than he currently knows himself and he’s determined to find the writer.

I started out this audiobook from my local library. I quickly knew that I wanted my own copy. It has been a long time since a book hit all of my senses. Almost immediately upon finishing the audiobook I started again.

Delightful characters, nuanced storytelling
It tackles all kinds of interesting ideas without ever hitting you over the head with any of them. The dialogue is witty, and the characters are complex. The Sci-Fi world-building elements are clever and thought-provoking, and pass the "sniff-test" with regards to believability. I can't wait to read more by this author.

there is no cliffhanger ending
Noting for others who see the review about this book ending on a cliffhanger before they start: Umm... it absolutely does not end on a cliffhanger? The story wraps up pretty satisfyingly for the main pairing and, I think, in a hopeful place the world overall. So if you're worried about a cliffhanger ending going in: don't be. Also, the story has great world building and interesting characters and some really beautiful writing.

I love it despite I'm not into si-fi or political stories
I'm not into books with a lot of politics, but in this one it somehow feels not too complicated and really like just another part of life. I truly enjoyed all the characters: they are not oversimplified and unrealistic, they are complex and interesting. It's a great book, I'm so happy I read it

Stupid fricking cliffhangers
I despise cliffhangers. Hate them. I almost want to return the damned audiobook because of it. Which ticks me off because I liked the concept and the overall story.
Until Pulley pulled a really HORRIBLE cliffhanger.
If you've read any of Pulley's other works, you know their writing is laborious to read. Their stories have great concepts, but take forever to push through. However, even with that being the case, I really did enjoy the story. From January, forced to leave Earth and becoming an immigrant others despise, to the quirkiness of the humans on Mars, to the animals, buildings - the universe was incredibly built.
But the author just had to leave the book on a cliffhanger. Will Gale and January live? Or is the next page their deaths? I have no idea if we'll ever know. I am incredibly disappointed and doubt I will purchase another Pulley book. They may have rounded out the plot, but this? Unacceptable way to leave a story.
Completely unacceptable.
The narration, while easy to listen to, was not up to snuff. The narrator only had 2 voices. Gale's and January's. January's was used for most of the other characters. It made it difficult to tell who was talking in conversations.
So basically? Great concept. Great universe building. And then it stabbed itself in the back at the end.
