If you enjoy Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels, this series of novellas might be for you. They are light, fun to read but yet still engaging enough to get your synapses fired up.

I wasn’t sure where to put the series, so I followed the (rough) alphabetic structure and put it in the Science Fiction. I also wasn’t sure how to deal with a series. I linked to the first novella and took the average of all 3 released novellas for the rating.

Thanks, @oschrenk! Sounds look a good addition.

Could you add a list of the books in the series, like we did here? That should be a good template. An average works; I think we've been going with the first book, but your solution works better. Science Fiction is a good category when you're unsure what subgenre to put it in.

Could you add your name to end of the note, as the rest of the personal reviews also have names that link to GitHub profiles?

The link was pointing to the diff of this pull request, so I wasn't sure what list of books you were referring to.

I did --force pushed some changes:

Be aware that this is not an original quote from me. It's a combination of a Tor article and a blurb on the author's page. If that is a problem, please do tell.

I pointed to the Barsoom series in the diff. Looks like you got the message and added what I was looking for, anyway. :)

Why don't we add your paragraph above, instead?

That sums up what you think about it better, I think. Opinion over synopsis.
