So far only read:
-- The Faerie Tree by Kathleen Kayembe (Cover is for this story) narrated by Jayme Joseph - 3.5* I can't say I fully understand the story but I enjoyed my time listening and being in it for a few days. The narrator did a great job. The author has a way of telling a slow story without it feeling slow. Like no frustrating "hurry up and get on with it" feelings from me. I see that I read another story by this author, You Will Always Have a Family and I had a similar feeling after I read that one. Slow, immersion, enjoyed my time but not fully understanding. In this story, I must have glossed over who our MC was the first time they went over it. Likely the author was being a bit under the radar with the information so while listening on audio it took the second mention for me to catch on. Also I don't understand what the protagonist was and what happened to the sister and why. Why didn't the coroner say something about the mom and dad. Could only our MC notice? See, a lot I didn't fully grasp but I'm not a "deep reader" so it's bound to happen. ymmv.
-- Cake Baby (A Kango and Sharon Adventure) by Charlie Jane Anders, narrated by Stefan Rudnicki - DNF Started but quit. I don't think the author and I are a good mix. A futuristic party where different species intermingle but it's too clever and "cool people dialogue" for me. "Kango and Sharon first met at a party, one of those lavish debauch-fests where people fly in from all over the galaxy wearing sentient fetishwear that costs a whole asteroid belt. The specially grown building had melted, causing toxic fumes that killed a few hundred people, and then the canapés on the appetizer table came to life and started mutilating bystanders with their razor-sharp mandibles. The party was going according to plan, in other words.
-- The Day the Wizards Came by Rachel Swirsky - alt history where wizards alter 911. Skipping
-- The Faerie Tree by Kathleen Kayembe (Cover is for this story) narrated by Jayme Joseph - 3.5*
