The Luminaries is the first book in The Luminaries; it started as an experiment on twitter where the audience got to direct some of the choices the heroine made and then was converted into a novel. I think because of that, the direction of the story takes a few unexpected twists along the way and sometimes […]
I love science fiction and every time I read it I wonder why I don’t read more of it. I’ve enjoyed this author before so I was happy to read The Spare Man. Not only is it science fiction, set in space, but it is also a murder mystery. The main characters are well suited […]
I was thrilled to contine the Mercenary Librarians series. Each book has a new couple for romantic suspense and more of the overall story arc for the series. Basically, the greedy TechnoCorp uses people, including abducting and cloning children, with only the rich few running everything and living comfortably. I would really read these books […]
Kate Elliot has a lot of works available. I read my first Kate Elliot book a few years ago and it was an epic tale spanning 50 years. To go from that to a novella length book from her to the Servant Mage was a huge shift. I think novellas are one of the hardest […]
The Mercenary Librarians series continues with upping the action and danger a notch. Now TechnoCorps is cloning children, as well as abducting them. None of our family group in Atlanta will stand for this. Each of them went through horrors as a child and are unwilling to have more children affected. Much of the world […]
The Murderbot Diaries series is one of my favorite series ever! I just love the grumpy Murderbot who wants to be left alone to watch its shows. Finding a dead human, of course now it will have to get involved in the murder investigation and that means it has to talk to humans! It saves […]
I went right from The Monstrous Citadel into reading Fortress of Magi in the Chronicles of Amicae series. Everyone seems to have their own agenda and be against the Sinclair sweepers. I really enjoyed this but I think you have to read this series in order to have any idea of the plot and world. […]
I really enjoyed City of Broken Magic and somehow missed the release of the next book in the Chronicles of Amicae series. So luckily when Tor offered me the third book, they also allowed me a review copy of The Monstrous Citadel. It took a little to get started after the time lapse but […]
I love the Kingston Cycle series. The covers are gorgeous! The world and story arc so engaging with magic and the politics of the ruling class and regular people. The LGBTQ stories are not my typical reading but I’ve enjoyed them. The main characters of the three books are related and are witches of different types. […]
It’s the final leg of the Interdependency trilogy and things have been on a dire note since the beginning- end of humankind sort of deal. It’s for all the marbles now and I love when a book or series of books, in this case, reaches that point. I was in high anticipation to find out […]
