Torn by Rowenna Miller is a political fantasy novel and is the first of three in The Unraveled Kingdom series. I had a fairly decent time reading this from start to finish. It tells the tale of what seems to be an ordinary seamstress stuck in a country that is brewing hot with political tension.…

Artificial Condition by Martha Wells is book two in The Murderbot Diaries. It’s back! Our favorite media-watching, human-hating/loving-but-can’t-do-anything-harmful-to-them murderbot is flying solo this time. I admit that it has taken me a while upon finishing All Systems Red, which I loved, to get at Artificial Condition. One just can’t help but fall in love with…

On the Beach by Nevil Shute is about as depressing of a novel as I can ever remember reading in a very long time. Set in a post-1960s apocalyptic world, a nuclear fallout has wiped the entire northern hemisphere of all life due to radiation. We as the readers get to follow in the footsteps…

The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton is a novel set in the near future where hurricanes ravage the southern state of Florida to the point where it becomes near impossible to inhabit.

A brave journalist decides to voluntarily get a job inside a prison facility in Louisana to secretly document what goes on behind the walls. Shane Bauer’s work here is nothing short…

The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison is book two in The Cemeteries of Amalo series. This series is pretty interesting in that it can be considered highly boring for many yet somehow I still find myself salivating at finally being able to read the next book in the series! I remember absolutely enjoying The…

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse is book one of two in the Between Earth and Sky series. Right off the bat, I had fairly high hopes for this one. It was listed at the near top of a couple of reading lists I encountered as it supposedly checks out on a couple of parameters I…

DISCLAIMER: I did not complete the book and have stopped at the 40% mark. Unconquerable Sun by Kate Elliott is book one of two in The Sun Chronicles. I was extremely stoked to start this one. I was advertised non-stop space battles! Exciting political intrigue! A heroine for the ages! Humor! What I instead got…
