Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa – REVIEW
Lost Ark Dreaming pulled me in with the promise of Snowpiercer meets River Solomon’s The Deep. What more could I want? I love it when speculative fiction really “goes there,” like both Snowpiercer and The Deep did. Please give me brutality, economic divides, and world collapse in speculative fiction. I want to think and feel… Continue reading

Time’s Agent by Brenda Peynado – REVIEW
I have always loved books about time travel, especially those that involve multi-dimensional travel, which made me immediately curious about Time’s Agent. One of my favorite Young Adult series is Claudia Gray’s Firebird series, which involves interdimensional travel, an intelligent group of protagonists, and a corporation that wants to exploit the dimensions for its own… Continue reading

Eden by Christopher Sebela and Marc Laming – REVIEW
I’ve been excited to dig into the Eden comic series for a long time. Sci-fi comics are my jam, and the art, family dynamics, and survive-at-all-costs feel of Eden drew me in. Also, we all know I can’t resist a story with themes of a dying Earth, a dystopian system, and corrupt corporations. Continue reading

Cascade Failure by L.M. Sagas: REVIEW
I’ve been on a mission lately to read more “happy” books – more books that make me feel good while reading them. Finding happy books is already hard, but finding happy books that are science fiction or fantasy seems even more difficult. Luckily, L.M. Sagas is here to save the day with her new book, Cascade… Continue reading

Welcome to the Blog Tour for the In the Live of Puppets paperback release! I’ve wanted to read so many different T.J. Klune books for so long, but somehow they keep slipping through the cracks of my massive TBR. After In the Lives of Puppets won the Goodreads Award for Best Science Fiction in 2023, I knew I wanted to… Continue reading

These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart by Izzy Wasserstein
I read These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart near the end of 2023 and I was completely blown away by how much I loved it. While I thought I would like the novella based on the synopsis, I wasn’t expecting this to be a favorite book of mine. These Fragile Graces is incredible, intense, and remarkably powerful. Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: XINO by Phil Hester, Melissa Flores, Alex Segura, and more
I’m always looking for weird fiction anthologies, so I was thrilled to find this speculative and weird fiction graphic novel anthology. When a book is described as “an intra-ocular lozenge of subversive, surrealist science fiction,” you better believe I’m going to be interested. XINO comes from Oni Press, a publisher I trust, so I had… Continue reading

Blog Tour and Review: Idolatry by Aditya Sudarshan
Welcome to the Blog Tour for Idolatry, a recently released speculative book by Aditya Sudarshan. I’m pretty picky about the blog tours I join, but when I read the description of Idolatry, I immediately knew I wanted to read it. Set in a near-future Mumbai, Idolatry imagines a world where religion has been completely reinvented… Continue reading

Review: The Endless Vessel by Charles Soule
The Endless Vessel is one of the most difficult books to categorize. Is it science fiction? Absolutely, but there’s more. Is it fantasy? Not particularly. It’s not quite steampunk. There is adventure, that’s for sure. There’s almost an apocalypse, but not quite. There’s no political totalitarianism, so I hesitate to call it dystopia. My best attempt… Continue reading
