Book Review: The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal
The Calculating Stars seems to be the book that everyone is talking about in the sci-fi world. The winner of the Nebula Award, and probably the winner of many more awards this year, it sounded like the perfect book for me.

I’m very vocal about the fact that The Poppy War was my favourite book of 2018, so I was naturally extremely excited to dive into The Dragon Republic as soon as I could, but I was a little nervous. The second book in a trilogy is a difficult one to pull off, as it deals… Continue reading

Book Review: Age of Assassins by R. J. Barker
Regardless of how much I manage to read in a given week, month, or year, I always seem to be behind the times in some way. There are so many authors and series that I feel like I’m missing out on, and R. J. Barker’s Wounded Kingdom was one of them. Despite having heard so… Continue reading

Embers of War first came onto my radar when it won the British Science Fiction Award for best novel in 2018.
