A mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA book
Review of Girls at the Edge of the World by Laura Brooke Robson A very good premise, but the book as a whole didn’t all come together for me. This book was a really interesting mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA. When you throw in sapphic characters… well let’s just say this was […]

The Ardulum series by JS Fields is an amazing tour de force
Review of The Ardulum series by JS Fields, Audiobooks narrated by Lynn Norris I’ve had this series in my TBR list for ages but as I’m not a Sci-fi fan, it was kept in that ever-growing pile of books for the not nearest future. My friend Jude kept insisting that I should read it but […]

This novel was in my top ten […]
A very good sci-fi story that is also a murder mystery
Review of Dead Space by Kalli Wallace This was a solid read that I enjoyed. I made myself three reading goals for 2021. I wanted to catch up on some series that I’ve started, I want to read more YA, and I really wanted to read more spec-fic. When I saw that this was a […]
A queer online magazine of science-fiction and fantasy
Review of ‘Glittership, Spring 2020’ I don’t usually review magazines but I had the opportunity to take a look at this one and I’m really happy I got to discover it. GlitterShip is a queer online magazine of science-fiction and fantasy. There is also an audio version, as podcasts, so if you’d rather listen than […]
Review of Persephone Station by Stina Leicht
Review of Persephone Station by Stina Leicht This was a pretty exciting space opera. When I heard about a sci-fi book that was filled with lesbian, bisexual, and non-binary characters, my interest was immediately piqued. And of course, when I saw the cover I knew I had to read this. The cover art is just […]
I love seeing more variety in WLW fiction
Review of ‘Come to My Door’ by Lexa Luthor This was better than the first book. I love when a sequel is better than the original because it gives me hope that the whole series is going to be really good. And considering that this was Luthor’s debut series, well that just makes it even […]
