Review: The Fire Opal Mechanism (Gemworld #2) by Fran Wilde

Posted on June 4, 2019 by

The Fire Opal Mechanism is the second novel in the Gemworld series. I was a little conflicted about this novella. On the one hand – I desperately wanted to see more of this world.

Review: Longer by Michael Blumlein

Posted on May 28, 2019 by

Longer is one of those science fiction novels that’ll make you think. More than that, it’ll make you feel. I’m not ashamed to admit that Longer made me cry like a baby at times. It cut through me and forced me to view the tale on an emotional level. Continue reading →

Review: Alice Payne Arrives by Kate Heartfield

Posted on May 24, 2019 by

Alice Payne Arrives is a new take on time. Yes, I know, time travel has been done a million times, and will likely be done a million more times. But that won’t stop me from trying new books and series. In this particular case – I’m glad that I gave it a chance. Continue reading →

Review: Binti: The Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor

Posted on May 3, 2019 by

A year since she arrived on another planet. A year since she started class at Oozma University. A year since she’s been home. Continue reading →

Review: Permafrost by Alastair Reynolds

Posted on March 12, 2019 by
