Furious Heaven (The Sun Chronicles #2) by Kate Elliott, narrated by Natalie Naudus
Epic Space Adventure! I listened to the almost 32-hour-long audiobook of Furious Heaven (The Sun Chronicles #2) by Kate Elliott, narrated by Natalie Naudus and thought it was great! This is the sequel to Unconquerable Sun. The series is a gender-swapped Alexander the Great in space where all of the important characters are strong and […]
Unconquerable Sun (The Sun Chronicles #1) by Kate Elliott, narrated by Natalie Naudus
Fun and Fast-Paced Space Opera! I listened again to the audiobook of Unconquerable Sun by Kate Elliott to prepare for the release of the sequel, Furious Heaven and I loved it just as much the second time around. The story is voiced by one of my favorite narrators Natalie Naudus and she does such a […]
City of Vicious Night (Requiem Dark #2) by Claire Winn
I love the energy and the worldbuilding in this series The Boomslang crew is closer than ever but still in danger. In the hopes of finally being safe, Riven suggests entering the trial to become the matriarch of the Rio Oscuro syndicate (read City of Shattered Light to find out why the syndicate needs a […]
Future Wife by Nicole Pyland, narrated by Blair Baker
An entertaining time travel romance I haven’t read much by Nicole Pyland, not sure why, but she’s an established Sapphic fiction author and I liked the little I read. I’m not a fan of time travel stories but I really enjoyed One Day You’ll Leave Me by Debra Flores so I had high expectations for […]
The Mimicking of Known Successes (Mossa & Pleiti #1) by Malka Older
An intriguing start to a new sci-fi series This was my first book by Malka Older and the cover and title brought me to it. I’m a sucker for that kind of title and this one has a really nice ring to it. I hadn’t heard of the author before though now her 2016 science-fiction […]
Farther Reefs: Ten Stories of Ocean Adventure, New Relationships, and Nautical Mystery
Pirates, mermaids, and ghosts The same team who brought us Distant Gardens in 2021 chose the sea and its creatures for its new anthology, Farther Reefs. As J.S. Fields writes in the introduction, “There are fewer nail polish jokes this time but a lot more mermaids, which seems like a pretty fair trade”, and yes, […]
I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marisa Crane
Interesting and Unique Dystopian Tale I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marisa Crane is a very good speculative fiction debut that is a mix of 1984 and The Scarlett Letter with embedded political commentary about the surveillance state, censorship, and surviving under a right-wing regime. The book is very queer, character-driven, and a highly […]
Endurance by Elaine Burnes
A thrilling sci-ci romance On her last trip around the solar system as the captain of a cruise ship, Lyn Randall is getting ready for the next step in her life, a life she expects to be quiet and spent flying old planes in Montana. Close to her family, not on the other side of […]
The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang
Queer Joan of Arc meets ‘Pacific Rim’ I was really excited to read this book. I love anything with mechs, and I have wanted to read something by Neon Yang, who used to write under JY Yang, so this looked like the perfect fit for me. It’s heavy sci-fi with a mix of fantasy and […]
