Rated Green City Wars 10/10
His <i>Dogs of War</i> series made it clear that Tchaikovsky is intrigued by the idea of "augmented service animals" or <i>Gehirner</i> and has the wit and vivid imagination to spin a fascinating story from it. I'll leave the plot synopsis to the copy writers at Tor because it's far too wild and amusing for me to make the attempt. I came late to Tchaikovsky because those descriptions can be intimidating to an ancient sf reader. Thank God the man is prolific as Hell because I've got a huge amount of back catalog to work my way through. Suffice it to say that he's a genius and a cracking good storyteller. <i>Green City Wars</i> brought me enormous pleasure.

Rated Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive 8/10
There is a lot to like here, and it is very straightforward about the hoops poor people have to jump through to survive. If you've gone through it, reading it may give you some anxiety. I did not love the writing style sometimes, as it often read more "just the facts" than art, but that feels somewhat disloyal to say about a Montana writer. Still, this is an important story to share.
