Prime Reading is free to read. No limit when to return, but it still falls under 'rental'.

Yes, exactly. A part of the Prime Subscription. Like Kindle Unlimited. Not yours to keep. As opposed to something like Amazon First Reads which is actually a free "purchase" for Prime members.

We looked at it, and decided against. We already have the Moorcock, the Tidhar, the Reynolds (it's been anthologised elsewhere) and the Fantasy anthology, and weren't that interested in the rest.

Sorry this is so late. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman is $4.99. Not a low low price, but it hasn't been discounted in some time. I'm not a Gaiman fan, but this was a very good book. (fantasy)

Everfair by Nisi Shawl is $2.99 on Amazon.com

What if the African natives developed steam power ahead of their colonial oppressors? What might have come of Belgium's disastrous colonization of the Congo if the native populations had learned about steam technology a bit earlier?

Fabian Socialists from Great Britain join forces with African-American missionaries to purchase land from the Belgian Congo's "owner," King Leopold II. This land, named Everfair, is set aside as a safe haven, an imaginary Utopia for native populations of the Congo as well as escaped slaves returning from America and other places where African natives were being mistreated.

Shawl's speculative masterpiece manages to turn one of the worst human rights disasters on record into a marvelous and exciting exploration of the possibilities inherent in a turn of history. Everfair is told from a multiplicity of voices: Africans, Europeans, East Asians, and African Americans in complex relationships with one another, in a compelling range of voices that have historically been silenced. Everfair is not only a beautiful book but an educational and inspiring one that will give the reader new insight into an often ignored period of history.

Boss’s discovery leads her and her team to the Room of Lost Souls. Boss remembers the Room. It haunts her. Her mother died there. Now, a client wants her to go back to help uncover the Room’s mysteries. But the truths they discover might destroy everything Boss holds sacred.

Because the more they discover, the less they realize they know—and the more it will cost them all.

Just an FYI - this book is written in Present Tense. I couldn't get through the first paragraph. And for what it's worth, I absolutely love KKR's Retrieval Artist series and very much wanted to love this too. I just couldn't finish it.
