To Sleep in a Sea of Stars

“The skills honed in his YA fantasy series, Inheritance (Eragon, 2003), are on full display here in his vibrant world building, especially in the mythology of the alien tech. Paolini populates this universe with a large cast of interesting and relatable characters, and mostly avoids reductive good guy/bad guy dynamics, lending the story a sincere emotional depth. Highly recommended for fans of … [Read More...]

Fated Blades

I love a good romance especially when there's a strong story line as well and even better, a power balance between the love interests. This story is a coming together of equals and is wonderfully free of needless misunderstandings. I do like it when grown ups just use their words. And revisiting Rada was a treat. It's science fiction but the world building is deftly inserted and the tech talk … [Read More...]

The Last Graduate: A Novel

I’m absolutely loving this series, the worldbuilding is still excellent and some of the snark from El made me laugh out loud as I was reading. The plot kept me guessing, and the ending means that I’ll be pre-ordering the third book as soon as it’s available! I was thrown by Amazon listing this as book 2 of 2 in the series but it’s listed as a trilogy on Naomi Novik’s website with the final book … [Read More...]

Kim Stanley Robinson never disappoints. Aurora delivered in every way. He has the science, he has the anthropology of our species, and he has the imagination that enables a futurist’s best guess as to where humanity might go.

The Cure: A Young Adult Dystopian Novel

I absolutely loved this book. It was recommended to me by my sister and I’m honestly a little upset that she recommended it to me so early because now I have to wait for the second book. It had an amazing plot and I think the author executed it almost flawlessly. I personally wasn’t the biggest fan about how quickly Ash and Finn got together. I feel like there should’ve been a little bit more of a … [Read More...]
