2021 book 71

 Naomi Kritzer’s Chaos on CatNet

The sequel CatNet book is more of a straightforward mystery/thriller: is there another AI, and is it nice or nefarious? There’s also a new POV character (along with Steph and CC), a new friend who's escaped from a cult after the disappearance of her mother, but now her secret girlfriend is ALSO missing. So obviously they have to band together to investigate that, too! I liked reading this a lot—Kritzer says in an afterword that she wrote the Minneapolis she wants to see, and it’s a pretty great version. Lots of queer people, lots of pancakes, lots of tension. I did think it ended kind of abruptly, but thought it was satisfying anyway. A-.
