Happy stocking day!

I have a few sff recs for you. I’ve rec’d sff on stockings a few times before so I apologize if these are ones I’ve rec’d to you before:

G. Willow Wilson, The Bird King - this is also the author of Ms. Marvel. I’m utterly enchanted by the storytelling and worldbuilding in this one.

China Miéville, Embassytown - this book takes awhile to get going for me, but once it does, I can’t put it down. I’ve read it at least 3 times. It examines what it means for an alien language to be really, truly alien, and what it would mean to breach the communication barriers with those aliens.

Jo Walton, Among Others - I don't think I can describe this in a way that will do it justice so I'll just tell you the basics. The main character is a disabled Welsh girl who loves sff and can communicate with spirits, and she faces moving to a new town, living without her twin, and her magical, abusive mom.
