Dome’Loki – Page 17 – Cannonball Read 17

“In the stories, there was a sense of justice. Everything had a purpose…I thought if those heroes and heroines from the stories could keep going forward into the darkness, so could I.”

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson

January 4, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

Cytonic is the third book in Brandon Sanderson’s “Skyward Series”. Here are reviews for book one Skyward and book two Starsight . In my review for Starsight I wondered if the pandemic would affect Cytonic being released in late 2021, fortunately through what sounded like a lot of hard work editing and deadlines, he and his team succeeded. When I set out to read Skyward I thought it was a standalone novel and had mixed emotions to find out it wasn’t. Excited because there was more but a little […]

Two days before Christmas, there was a book shaped box waiting when I got home. Having already received Stone, Sword, Table: Old Legends, New Voices I was not expecting a second Cannonball Book Exchange but llamareadsbooks went beyond my list of title suggestions and choose A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske too! In addition to specific titles, I had put forth categories, one of which was LGBTQ+ romance. I eagerly look forward to this book which T.J. Klune blurbed as, “Sublime prose, top-notch world-building, delightfully queer”. […]

“Well someone has to marry him, said the Emperor.” Part space opera, mystery, and romance, all of it captivating.

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Winter’s Orbit came on to my radar through Cannonballers and then I noticed my independent bookstore featuring it as a staff pick for Pride month. It went on my book wish list and I got it for my birthday! In the far distant future there are multiple galactic civilizations and they are all connected through ‘the link network’ governed by the Resolution. Trade happens through the link and having the Resolution in place means that no invading force can use the link to attack another […]

Thank you, llamareadsbooks! Emmalita’s review got me quite interested in Sword, Stone, Table: Old Legends, New Voices since I’ve always liked Arthurian myths and retellings. As I’m working on improving the diversity of the voices I read, this anthology of “gender-bent, race-bent, LGTQIA+ inclusive retellings” from a diverse group of authors will help with that. I’m looking forward to reading this next year 🙂 Giving and receiving books is the best way to celebrate the holidays! Merry Book Exchange!

The Superheroine duo is now the foreshadowed Heroine Trio!

Heroine’s Journey and Haunted Heroine are the third and fourth books in Sarah Kuhn’s fun ‘Heroine’ series. Demons breached our dimension and some humans gained powers as a result. Set in present day San Francisco and surrounding areas, Aveda Jupiter and her best friend Evie Tanaka have become the superheroine darlings of the city. Aveda’s telekinesis combined with fighting prowess and Evie’s ability to create and throw fire have made them a fantastic duo. The road to get there has been rough as they each had […]

“Old people, young people. Everybody needed a cup of tea sometimes. Just an hour or two to sit and do something nice, and then they could get back to whatever it was.”

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

December 4, 2021 by Dome'Loki 7 Comments

I had just finished A Closed and Common Orbit and was eager to read another book by Becky Chambers. Fortunately, my family gave me A Psalm for the Wild-Built for my birthday, so another one was on hand to be immediately dived into. In A Closed and Common Orbit, Chambers dwells on purpose. In a APftWB, she dives deeper into understanding what it means to have a purpose, why even have a purpose at all, and to not have a purpose, as well. I had been delightfully […]

Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
