#34 The Unkindest Tide by Seanan McGuire

For once the book doesn’t start with an emergency that Toby must fling herself out the door into trouble. The Sea Witch has finally come to collect from all the Selkies the long-held debt for the slaughter of the Roane. The advance time still doesn’t allow for murder and treason to not happen during the meeting. We meet another of the Firstborn along with her Kingdom in the Pacific Ocean. This does allow Toby to fulfill her obligation to the Sea Witch and does cause Toby some personal grief in a situation that has been going on the last few books. By the ending of the book, the reader is ensured that at some point we will be seeing more of Sea Kingdoms.

#35 Captain Marvel, Volume 1: Higher, Further, Faster, More by Kelly Sue DeConnick ,David López

This collection not so much introducing Captain Marvel to the world as a good starting point for someone to read about an established character without knowing all the back story. Captain Marvel decides to go off planet for a while and helps some refugees that are being dying on a world they have recently been resettled to and are now being forced off in an attempt to save them from a mystery illness. A good collection to read if you are only familiar with the movie version and want a taste of what she can be without it being an origin story.
