Kindle Books $4 and under

[morgandawn]

I have $4 Kindle rewards that expire in 2 weeks. Rec me your favorite author - I prefer fantasy or sci-fi that focuses on characters/relationships but am not averse to world building/larger themes. Nothing grim or dystopia. OK if it is part of a series and if it is a few dollars more than $4 (up to $12). Plus if it supports a minority or LGBTQ author (or themes).

Don't let the name put you off, this is surprisingly warm-hearted and funny

All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.

But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.

On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid―a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.

But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
