Sweep of the Heart by Ilona Andrews

December 31, 2022 by Malin 2 Comments

This is not the place to start The Innkeeper Chronicles, as it’s the sixth installment overall (four full books and a novella come before it). This story has a LOT of callbacks to previous stories, so just start with Clean Sweep if you haven’t tried this yet. Innkeepers Dina DeMille and Sean Evans are still trying to recover from the last cosmic adventure that taxed them when they discover that Wilmos, the aging werewolf who’s pretty much Sean’s surrogate grandfather has been abducted. The traces […]

Love in the stars

Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik

Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik

December 30, 2022 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

I’ve heard only great things about Jessie Mihalik’s books from Cannonball Read. I already had Polaris Rising on my shelf, but I read Hunt the Stars first. Since it was selected by The Ripped Bodice’s fantasy romance book club, it got moved into the rotation. The first Starlight’s Shadow book introduces us to Tavi and her space crew. They are space war veterans who use their skills now as bounty hunters. The war may be over with the Valoffs. However, most humans don’t trust this […]

“By the time you’re my age, you’ll realize that everything you once thought mattered so much turns out to mean very little.”

The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin

September 20, 2022 by ardaigle 1 Comment

Cannonball Read Square: Star I received this book as a gift for the Cannonball Read Book Exchange last year, so that alone bumped it up my to-read pile. I’ve gotten more into science fiction in the past few years, and I’m always excited to read from non-American viewpoints, so it was an obvious choice for me. I’m a sucker for award winners, and this book won the Hugo Award and Liu Cixin is the nine time (!) winner of China’s Galaxy Award and Ken Liu […]

Never a Dull Moment

Axiom’s End by Lindsay Ellis

September 10, 2022 by sabian30 Leave a Comment

I was reading this novel in the Apple Store (while waiting for them to check out my MacBook Air), when one of the techs came up to me and said how much he enjoyed Axiom’s End. I love it when a fellow reader sees your book and makes a comment. I agreed with him and was surprised when he told me there was a second book! I’ll have to look for it. I found Axiom’s End while using the RSS feed on Cannonball to find […]

Turning planets into origami

Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky

August 22, 2022 by Malin 8 Comments

CBR14 Bingo: Cold (the majority of this novel is set in spaaace, which is famously very cold) It would also work for Star and Series.  Official book description: Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers. Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans ­such as Idris – […]

Drunk on All Your Strange New Words by Eddie Robson

August 19, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

Thanks to NetGalley and Recorded Books for the audio ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. Firstly, I’m going to apologize in advance because this review might end up being the equivalent of one of those annoying YouTube comments where some genius pops in to be like “FIRST!” and sometimes they’re not even first but they’re so proud of themselves anyway. I hope I don’t descend to that level but I can’t promise anything because I had such a good time with this […]

  • narfna on We are women without a voice…We are women out of time and place, without even the language of the country we reside in.Everything I hear about this makes me want to read it more. I've heard the audio is great, that's probably the route I'll go.
  • narfna on Because when women understand chemistry, they begin to understand how things work.The author hates the cover, too! I, like you, judged the book by the cover and was wrong. The British one is much better. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QJVdPaRWL.jpg...
