Book Review: Artificial Condition by Martha Wells
Our Murderbot remains ever capable of combat intelligence, but not only does it continue to struggle with social norms, it also now must make decisions for itself, a thrilling but terrifying experience for the newly emancipated SecUnit.
Book Review: Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater
Sometimes you find a book that's just about you, about the things you love and the longing in your heart and the fears that consume you at night, and Ballad is of all that for me.
Book Review: The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black
The Darkest Part of the Forest seems brief as a stand-alone novel, but it's packed full of events, action, and twists, traipsing all over the fictional town of Fairfold, through the woods, and down below the Faerie hill.
Book Review: The Rook by Daniel O’Malley
When I got the hankering to reread The Rook, I thought I'd give it a review this time.
Book Review: The Death of the Necromancer
High jinks rule the day throughout The Death of the Necromancer. The narrative comes packed with every aspect Victorian-era criminal life has to offer, plus necromancy.
Book Review: All Systems Red by Martha Wells
Only seven chapters long, 'All Systems Red' moves along at a snappy pace, following the tale of Murderbot, an angry, dismissive robot learning how to deal with autonomy and other people during crisis. Can relate.
Book Review: Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman
While I don't quite agree that 'Thunderhead' beats 'Scythe,' they're absolutely comparable in terms of quality.
Book Review: Valiant
A study in edges, where Faerieland meets big city, where drug addiction meets magic, where homelessness meets whimsy.
Book Review: Nightstruck
I dust my hands of this nonsense.
