I read two (and a half) memorable books in February that could not be more different:

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt: this is a cute debut novel that stars an octopus trying to make things right for a human it likes. A charming "it all works out in the end" easy read.

And

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie: holy crap, what a raucously bloody piece of fantasy. The characters are so vivid and the story is a refreshingly original variant of the wizards and barbarians trope. Could not put it down and am now halfway through the second book in the First Law trilogy.
