Two recent novels I really loved:
'Slow Gods' by Claire North, fun space opera about religion, capitalism, the costs of war, neurodiversity.
'The Glass Slide World' by Carrie Vaughn, alternate history with magic, with a really great magic system based on biology. Also about spies, colonialism and war. I really loved the first in the sequence too (but they are pretty independent from each other).
I also reread most of Tortall this fall, was busy with that for a few weeks

In a rare case of admitting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was based on wrong data, Russian colonel general Chirkin commented as follows:
„There was an underestimation of the enemy and overestimation of their (Ukrainian) troops. Everyone began to say that the war would end in three days.
(…)
Before the invasion began, the Russian leadership received reports that 70% of Ukrainians were for Russia and 30% against. It turned out the opposite, 30% for and 70% against."
I would say that even those 70% were too optimistic and today it is certainly close to 99%.
