In the Shadow of the Fall by Tobi Ogundiran
5.0
This is a wonderfully engaging fantasy novella based on West African mythology. The world building is solid, our main character Ashâke is in turns sympathetic and stubborn, and the unfolding of the mystery of why the Orisha never spoke to Ashâke was great. Very excited for the follow up!

DNF @ page whatever I was on. This didn't work for me so much so that I can't even explain what little I read.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
4.5
I’m so glad that I’ve somehow managed to go my entire life without being spoiled for this mystery. What a delight.
Cable by Gerry Duggan, Vol. 2 by Gerry Duggan, Phil Noto
3.5
Cable’s story has always been insanely convoluted and highly confusing to me, and that is no different here. However, Duggan does some great work to hit some emotional plot beats that still hit even when I feel so unmoored by all the timey-wimey shit. He also has some great humor in here that I highly appreciated.
Phil Noto’s art is fantastic as always. Between Duggan’s humor and Noto’s art, the bits of the Emma Frost we get here are absolute highlights and the best of Emma in this X era so far.

DNF @ page 112. This started out very strong, but it's taken a turn in a direction I personally do not want to follow.
