    On closing this screening from Netgalley (thank you), I say… Mark, you devilish bastard! On the heels of Red Sister, we are committed to knowing how Nona and her cohorts will be raised, trained, and where they will end up in a world that is closing in. Ice walls, literally. With only the aimed faux…

    I think I had a logarithmic star rating. over the course of the read: 4-3-4* Themis file #3. What a trip we have been on. In the first novel, I had some issues with the total file construct. It was novel but it wore on me over time. The second book really had a good…

    Just.. wow.. If you’ve made it this far you have to be an Expanse fan and if you are a fan there is no way you can be disappointed with this book. If you are I want you to tell me why. To me you have every plot element necessary to facilitate a great story…

    Raven Stratagem by Yoon Ha Lee My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read some peers reviews of this before I dove in and I agree with their assessments. Who stole our Yoon Ha Lee and replaced him with someone who explains things. XD I fully expected this to be a mind warp of digging…

    A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab My rating: 4 of 5 stars A beautiful book and a really neat series. I like that it was a true trilogy and that it ended, even though I’d have loved to see more and I do hope the author may revisit the world because there is a…

    Babylon’s Ashes, the 6th book in The Expanse Series by James S.A. Corey What an amazing book. Maybe absence from the series makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe it’s a timeliness of reading it with our nation the way it seemingly is. Maybe it’s just a good damn book. Any of the ways, I enjoyed…

    City of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a fun series. Each book was separated by a handful of years. Enough time for perspectives, aging, getting comfy with the world and it’s quirks after the blink. I’d sorely like to read a novelette of the hey-day of gods…
