Hello humans! Today’s book review is another example of what I’m starting to think of as a kind of sub-sub-genre. By that, I mean books (and it is mostly YA books) that divide things by gender and make readers looking for intersectionality a little uncomfortable. I’m looking at you Eve of Man. Ascension is, in... Continue Reading →
Obsidio, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff – Book Review
Hello humans. Ugh. I can’t believe I’m here writing this review. Illuminae was one of the first hyped up books I ever read and reviewed on this blog, it was kind of what pushed me into more of the community of bloggers rather than just sitting on the fringe. It’s also one of the first... Continue Reading →
This Mortal Coil, Emily Suvada – Book Review
Hello humans! Today's review is for a book that I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did. This Mortal Coil first came to my attention when I got a pin badge for the book in one of the Fairyloot crates - I can't actually remember which one? So then when I was looking for a book...

We are Such Stuff, R. M. Dorn – Book Review
Morning mortals! It's been a while since I've read one of those books that set me off into a strange brain space. I think the last time was Sweet Dreams - which also has a dreaming element now that I think about it. Maybe I just don't like thinking about dreams. Hmm. Anyway, today's review is...

Planetfall, Emma Newman – Book Review
Hello humans! Another ARC review? Well with so many amazing books publishing in February there was no other way to fit them all in otherwise! Today's book was one of those 'it could be terrible but I hope it isn't' kind of books. You know the ones I mean? I went into this unsure of... Continue Reading →
Your One & Only, Adrianne Finlay ARC Review
Good morning mortals! For those interested, I'm writing this blog post months and months in advance of me actually publishing it, which feels appropriate when reviewing science fiction. What will the world be like when I publish this I wonder? Can it have got any worse? Has the thing I'm dreading happening happened? I'm married... Continue Reading →
Where the Stars Rise, ARC Book Review
Hello Humans! Another anthology? I've been converted. A year ago I saw them as no more than things that would induce a reading slump. Now I'm actively searching for them. If you can find a theme you're into they can be a great way to discover new authors and get just a flavour of many... Continue Reading →
The Empress, S.J. Kincaid Book Review
Morning mortals! Am I late to this party? Most probably since The Empress published back in November, but this isn't the longest I've left it to review a sequel by any means! This was one of my anticipated sequels for the year, I enjoyed The Diabolic, giving it 4/5 stars and I am excited to share what... Continue Reading →
Too Like the Lightning, Ada Palmer – Book Review
Morning mortals! More science fiction today, and a quite hefty dose of philosophy. I've got a lot to say about this one so I think it's better we get straight to the reviewing. Goodreads Summary: Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to... Continue Reading →
Valiant Dust, Richard Baker – Book Review
Morning mortals! What's this? My first ever foray into military science fiction (knowingly at least). Valiant Dust appealed to me largely because of how striking that cover is, but it's also fun to branch out into other genres/sub-genres. You never know what might surprise you. On that note... Goodreads Summary: Sikander Singh North has always had... Continue Reading →
Renegades, Thomas Locke Book Review
Morning mortals! You may be a little confused, didn't I review Renegades yesterday? Why yes you are correct. Today I am reviewing a different book that is also called Renegades. I appear to have slipped back into old bad habits of reading sequels before the first book in series, I have too much on my reading list at the... Continue Reading →
Expression, E.G. Wilson Book Review
Hello Humans! Just a heads up, before you read today's book review, why not go back in time and check out my review of the first book in this duology Voiceless? I'm so happy to have been approved to review Expression and to share my thoughts with you guys! Goodreads Summary: Adelaide Te Ngawai was twenty-two when... Continue Reading →
