Stuff I've read lately

"The January Dancer" (Michael Flynn) - I am really enjoying Flynn. This story was really well done. In this universe, FTL is done via regions of space with higher local c (to enter the "Electric Avenue"). The main problem I saw is that Flynn required ships to approach local c to enter these regions. The ending was a little anticlimactic, but understandable for a short book (350 pages). I'm not going to encourage 800 page monstrosities.
