I met Neon Yang at New York Comic Con a few years ago - they were very cool, and helped change the name on the book cover of my copy of The Black Tides of Heaven that I brought to get signed, since it had been published under their former name. I enjoyed that book, and I also believe that I enjoyed The Genesis of Misery (although, to be frank, I cannot remember much about it).
I very much enjoyed their new novella, Brighter Than Scale, Swifter Than Flame, which Tor and NetGalley gave me an eARC of in exchange for an honest review.
To be fair, the first time I tried to read it, I bounced off the first page and couldn’t get into it. However, I realize that I was clearly in more of a science fiction than fantasy mood at the time, because a few weeks later, I restarted it, and did not want to put it down. It tells the story of an imperial dragon hunter who is sent as an emissary to another country where she meets the monarch and uncovers her secret (which I will not spoil here). Even though I saw the reveal coming a mile away, I still really enjoyed this book! (Also, I think I was supposed to figure out what was going on before the protagonist did). This was a delightful book that I highly recommend.
