Book review: How to live safely in a science fiction universe
Potentially the story was about either time travel or about a father-son relationship. WHO KNOWS. Continue reading
Book review: Banner of Souls
I know I usually say “I don’t know how to even describe the plot” but in this case, it’s really true. Not only is the plot unbelievably weird, so is the world that you find yourself in. So, here’s an attempt at summing up Liz Williams’ Banner of Souls. Basically, it’s very, very far in the … Continue reading
Book review: Speak
Oh man, some pretty big feels in this book. Written by Louisa Hall, parts of it is set in a not-too distant future, not quite a dystopia but perhaps a stop on the way there.I guess it tries to establish what is being alive, what merits that. It does this through several interlocking narratives from … Continue reading
Book review: In the Garden of Iden
I think if I would have read this in highschool, it would have been one of my favourite series. It seems to have everything I’d like in a story: time travel, enhanced humans and history. However, now as an adult it just feels a bit too on the nose. For those of you who … Continue reading
Book review: Radiance
I don’t even know where to start because this book made way too little sense and was too long for how little sense it made. If you’re a fan of pretty language and absurdist geographies and worlds (basically, if you like China Miéville), you’d probably love Catherynne M Valente’s book. As it’s got lots of … Continue reading
Book review: The Memory of Water
AWWW MANNN. Post-apocalyptic stories rarely end well, and I guess this is the same. Without giving too much away, it has a SAD ENDING. Emmi Itäranta’s novel centres around Noria Kaitio, a tea master in New Qian, the Scandinavian Union. Basically, it is about 1000 years post-oil-environmental crash and it looks like the world has … Continue reading
Book review: Resistance is Futile
I have many feels about this book. I can’t really tell you why because it would basically ruin the ending for you. BUT OMG THE FEELS. So Resistance is Futile by Jenny T Colgan is pretty straight forward plot-wise. It’s very easy to read (I basically read it in a morning commute + evening). There … Continue reading
Book review: Archivist Wasp
Where to begin. There’s such a collision of genres with Nicole Kornher-Stace’s novel that could have gone horribly wrong, but instead it just made me have ALL THE FEELS. It was good on the level of The Doomsday Book or Ancillary Justice. It was just expectation-defyingly excellent in a way that I’m having problems articulating. … Continue reading
Book review: The Female Man
Ummm So, I don’t think Joanna Russ’ book a normal novel. I don’t know what it is. Maybe a stream of consciousness feminist rant that takes place across multiple parallel universes? There are four women, who cross over into each other’s earths, all which have had a different history. Janet’s Earth has no men, they … Continue reading
