The Bandit Queens

This book is amazing. It touches on so many aspects of (in)justice and (in)equity in modern India... which women everyone also navigate to varying degrees.

The Alloy Of Law
by Brandon Sanderson

This book had a lot of Misborn references and did a good job updating the world. The plot wasn't as big as the previous series, but the characters are a lot of fun. Wayne is funny.

The Undertaking Of Hart And Mercy
by Megan Bannen

I read this because it was compared to Howl's Moving Castle. There was more of the typical romance tone, but it did okay in the fairy tale/horror realm. The characters were likable and varied, but still had some tropes.
 
 

The Bands Of Mourning
by Brandon Sanderson

I'll agree with several other reviews, this is the book where the series comes in its own. The progressions and character growth in this are excellent. It also did a surprisingly good job on the romance ankle of the series. It offers a lot of philosophical onsite in the world in a unique and welcome way.
 
 

Broadway Butterfly
by Sara DiVello

Well researched historical fiction based on an unsolved murder. Short chapters take on the perspectives of various characters to give the reader insight and empathy for how the events rippled out to impact others. Some information started to feel a bit redundant as the main character mulled over facts with little progress, though this does allow the reader to share in their frustration for the unsolved mystery.
