Rosewater Redemption, Tade Thompson, 2019, conclusion of the Rosewater trilogy (1st and 2nd). I think I liked the middle one the best but this one definitely does some cool stuff, picking up and tying back together some earlier loose ends (or turning them on their heads) and then bringing it all to a big finish.
Network Effect, Martha Wells, 2020. Fifth book (and first novel-length entry) of the series that started with All Systems Red, which I am not going to go hunt for my reviews of because I think they're all just "I love these". So damn readable - I more or less did not stop reading this once I started, outside of really unavoidable activities like sleep and childcare - and always satisfying. I was curious whether Wells would write this one as a new entry point to the series, but the answer to that is definitely no; if you haven't been reading these, this is not a good place to start, it's only going to work if you've read the novellas. Apparently there's going to be a sixth one coming next year, yay!
