I read a lot of science fiction and horror, but this twist was excellent — strongly foreshadowed and yet a complete surprise. And I am not just saying that because I'm an Expanse diehard (though, admittedly, I am).
Turning to StoneMarcia Bjornerud
Good
Part geology book, part memoir that talks about one of my favorite meta themes: how we can learn about something from something (seemingly) entirely unrelated. In this case, Bjornerud uses geology as a complex metaphor for the trials and triumphs of life, and how deep study allows us to build connections that we could never otherwise construct.
