Hello Humans! Full disclosure - in case you have a gander at my goodreads and nothing makes sense - I'm writing this review way back in November of 2020. So if any references seem dated that's not because I'm a time traveller...or is that exactly what a time traveller would say? Today I'm reviewing the... Continue Reading →
The Mask Falling, Samantha Shannon – Book Review
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another book review! Today I want to have a quick chat about book four in The Bone Season series by Samantha Shannon - while things are going to be spoiler-free for book four you might encounter spoilers for the rest of the series so click away if you haven't read...

The Mask of Mirrors, M A Carrick – Book Review
Hello Humans! December Judith here writing reviews for 2021 releases and feeling very confused about time and the inevitable heat death of the universe. But to distract myself from that kind of thinking I like to pour myself into reading and OOOH there are some good books coming in the next year. One such book... Continue Reading →
Black Sun, Rebecca Roanhorse – Book Review
Hello Humans! December Judith here again speaking to you from the past where I just finished Black Sun - which I've been wanting to read for bloomin' ages! It was a Space Sirens Book Club pick earlier in 2020 and I was delighted to (after that bookclub had moved on) get a digital review copy... Continue Reading →
The Sun’s Devices, Rebecca Levene – Book Review
Hello Humans! Back for more book reviews I see? Well I suppose I could dig one out for you. I have no idea if anyone reading this blog has been here since 2017 - I suspect the answer is no but hey if that's you then hello thanks for being so supportive. Back in 2017... Continue Reading →
Call of the Bone Ships, RJ Barker – Book Review
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another review along the lines of 'could this sequel possibly live up to the first book?' I read and adored The Bone Ships back in 2019 and a year on was still thinking about it ALL THE TIME. So you can imagine how excited I was to get to read... Continue Reading →
Hollow Empire, Sam Hawke – Book Review
Hello Humans! It's been a good time for sequels lately, and now that I actually have the time to re-read you can best believe I have been devouring both the originals and the new releases. One such sequel for which I was incredibly excited was Hollow Empire the follow on to one of my favourite... Continue Reading →
The Burning God, R.F. Kuang – Book Review
Hello Humans! I've been blessed this year with the opportunity to read some big endings to trilogies early. This is both a blessing and a curse because while I am the most impatient woman alive and cannot stand to wait until a publication date - this does also mean that I don't have anyone to scream... Continue Reading →
Escape Pod – Book Review
Hello Humans! I haven't typically gravitated towards short story collections in the past - I have a real love for getting my teeth stuck into a longer format and really exploring themes and characters in a way that short stories don't - because they're not designed to do that. But Titan books reached out with... Continue Reading →
Hard Time, Jodi Taylor – Book Review | Blog Tour
Hello Humans! I'm going to do the slightly weird thing of prompting you to go to another blogger right at the start of this review. Because...in some ways I am back to my old habits. I am kind of reading a series out of order. Now in this case it's a bit complicated because it's... Continue Reading →
Unconquerable Sun, Kate Elliott – Book Review
Who is ready for 'Judith attempts to review science fiction'? Welcome to my stop on the Unconquerable Sun blog tour - this is a new Space Opera from Head of Zeus publishing who were kind enough to send me a copy for review. As someone who is edging more and more into reading science fiction... Continue Reading →
Looking Glass, Christina Henry – Book Review
Hello Humans! It's time to take a wee bit of a trip down memory lane. Cast your mind back to 2018 where everything was retellings. Because today I'm reviewing a collection of short stories in Christina Henry's dark Alice in Wonderland Universe. Looking Glass actually came out much earlier in the year and the kind...
