All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries is book one of six in Martha Well’s Murderbot series. Let me begin by saying that I can’t remember the last time I literally laughed out loud reading a book of any kind! Judging by the cover and title alone, I expected, well, a robot that has gone gained…

If It Bleeds by Stephen King is a collection of four short novellas. To put it mildly, majority of these were just not good at all. Not only were they disappointing but they were just not scary. Maybe I’m past the point of being able to be scared by reading stories in a book but…

Fatemarked by David Estes is the first of five in his Fatemarked Epic series. Something special is definitely happening here and Fatemarked serves as an excellent introduction to the series. To put it simply, this is what someone would label as a traditional epic fantasy. You have everything from knights, impregnable castle fortresses, princes, princesses,…

A Question of Faith: A Castle Federation Novella by Glynn Stewart is a short read based on his larger Castle Federation series, which spans six books. I hadn’t known that when I started with A Question of Faith but it also seems that this author has a lot of books under his belt, all which…

The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty is the second book in her Daevabad Trilogy set. I thought I would be able to wait until around the third and final book to release before going through this one. My plan was obviously to wait until it released and then burn through them both in one…

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty is the first in The Daevabad Trilogy. This is a good one folks. Sometimes, it can be as simple as just that but alas, I need to write more for my personal review. Firstly, I loved the middle eastern setting. I think it harmonizes perfectly well in combination…

Occurrence by Robert Desiderio is a modern day political/sci-fi thriller. Browsing for my next read, I saw this popped up as one of the top recommendations of the year so far. I’m always down for a political thriller from time to time and given that it didn’t seem like too big a book, I decided…

Exhalation: Stories by Ted Chiang is a collection of short thought provoking sci-fi stories. Each story explores a different theme but ultimately, it begs the readers to question their existence in this world, what is free will and does it actually even exists, rights for AI, search for an intelligence life form, parallel universes and…
