Icefall is a terrific SF/fantasy novella from the point of view of Aisha, an ex priestess and mountaineer with a troublesome prosthetic arm. Her wife Maggie is tackling a giant unconquered mountain on a distant planet, while Aisha can only look on due to the rules of the solo contest.
And with that I actually managed to FINISH #aussiesrule2018! Yay! Books read are in comments. @Sue

Lauredhel And that's all folks! What might I most recommend from this list? It's hard to choose, but it also might be hard to go past Terra Nullius. Avoid spoilers. Of the non fiction, I reckon Dark Emu. And of the shorter work, Icefall stands out. 5y
