Another #book I've read lately: "Empire in Black and Gold," first book in the Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
This was a fascinating read. The various insect-themed powers are clever, while; the split between apt and inapt mimics the science/mysticism divide in Elder Race (one of his later books; I believe Empire was his first published).
There's a bit more head-hopping within scenes than I'd prefer, but that's a quibble.

Delve.
Over a year since it began, Delve keeps spiraling deeper—120 posts of magic, mystery, and the long fall into darkness.
Read it anew or return to the depths.
The descent is only beginning.

One thing short horror does brilliantly is remove the natural stopping point. Each piece is quick, so “just one more” feels harmless.
Then it’s 7am, the sun’s up, and you’ve read far more than you meant to.
