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.

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
