I finished "The Mortons" by @larbalestier.bsky.social and @scottwesterfeld.bsky.social . Absolutely phenomenal book. I like both of them individually as authors and together? This is one of the smoothest, tightest books I've read. Very suspenseful, delightfully twisty.
This is a lovely story about @scottwesterfeld.bsky.social and @larbalestier.bsky.social, two of my favorite people (who also, as it happens, have a fab new novel out that they co-wrote, called "The Mortons"): www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
