Review: Sirena by Gideon Marcus

The sequel to Kitra is another fun, small-scale space adventure that’s perfect for a lighter sci-fi read!

Review: Skyward Flight by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson

This bind up of three novellas in the Skyward series is an interesting addition to the story, but a frustrating one, because it seems essential to the series plot arc, while being marketed as side stories.

Review: Kitra by Gideon Marcus

A fun sci-fi romp perfect for younger teens and those who like their sci-fi on the cosy side!

Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

I know this seems backward when I was just talking about Cytonic yesterday, but reading that sample reminded me I’d totally forgotten to put my review of Starsight up!

Blog Tour: Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson

I’m thrilled to be part of the blog tour for Cytonic, the third book in the brilliant Skyward series! I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the first few chapters before its release, so here are my first impressions…

Review: A Universe of Wishes

This diverse collection of YA fantasy and sci fi short stories has some great ideas, but left me wanting more…

Blog Tour: Venom

Remember how much I adored Viper by Bex Hogan, the Slytherin pirate book of my dreams? Well, refresh yourself on my review here, and then come back, because today I’m on the blog tour for the amazing sequel, Venom!

I’ll be reviewing Venom itself next week, because today the spotlight is on the amazing world Bex has created. One of the things I absolutely adore about this series is the intricate way the cultures of the islands are depicted – each one has its own flavour, from the natural resources it possesses to the way the people live, and they’re all tied together in a way that feels very realistic to how a world would work. And of course, they have their own stories, which is what I have for you today: a sneak peek at one of the myths behind the Eleventh Isle! Read on to find out more…

Review: The Stars We Steal

So I was really excited to hear about The Stars We Steal, which combines those tropes with a space setting and draws inspiration from Jane Austen’s Persuasion – and it was everything I wanted it to be!

Review: Crown of Oblivion

When I picked this up, I was in the mood for some really classic-feeling YA, the sort of thing that would take me back to its early 2010s heyday, and it turns out that Crown of Oblivion was exactly that!
