So instead of giving last minute Christmas ideas for the books I’ve read this year, I’m going to give the top 5 series to introduce the sci-fi and fantasy fans in your life. Because why only enjoy one book when you can enjoy many!  Continue reading →

Book review: The Stars are Legion

Posted on October 16, 2018 by blogendorff • 2 Comments

My first impression as I was reading it on the bullet train from Shanghai to Beijing was that it was fucking weird. My final conclusion after finishing it after arriving in Beijing is that is it really fucking weird. Continue reading →

Book review: Record of a Spaceborn Few

I think if you appreciate the tone of Becky Chambers’ previous books, you’ll get along with this one. Not as many aliens, but another insight into the GC. I really hope there are many more books to come as I really love this universe. Continue reading →

Book review: Downbelow Staton

This long, tedious book has a much shorter, exciting book inside of it. Or around it. Or I’m imagining it could be. Continue reading →

Book review: Autonomous

Posted on January 18, 2018 by blogendorff • Leave a comment

Last year it felt that Annalee Newitz’s first novel Autonomous was on every must read list. For some reason it was always in a very expensive hardback, so I didn’t pick it up on a random whim (I came very close when I was in Oslo because holiday money isn’t real money). However, it was on … Continue reading →

Book review: Proof of Concept

It’s almost holiday time, so that means, reading some fun books. I downloaded this novella by Gwyneth Jones on a whim but it was a good choice. I generally don’t read anything shorter than a novel, so it was interesting to see how much of a story you can pack into not a long book … Continue reading →

Book review: Ninefox Gambit

Posted on May 16, 2017 by blogendorff • 1 Comment

I passed on Yoon Ha Lee’s Ninefox Gambit a few times because it sounded a bit strange. Teaming up with an undead general…in space….what? It also had words like ‘Fortress of Scattered Needles’ and ‘the hexarchate’ and my brain just kind of glossed over the words and decided – nope! But eventually my brain finally decided to … Continue reading →

Book review: American War

Posted on April 22, 2017 by blogendorff • Leave a comment

American War is Omar El Akkad’s first (first!) novel and about 50% through reading it, I wasn’t sure if my heart would be able to take anymore. But the characters and the story were just too compelling that I got pulled back every time I tried to put it down. I finally blitzed the last 40% or so … Continue reading →
