“Sometimes Bad Guys are the only Good Guys you get.”

Short review: Kind of but not exactly Leverage in space. I liked it; not as much as The Martian but hey — economic caperism on the moon. Hard to argue with that.

Defenestrated Dingoes!

November 9, 2017 by sistercoyote 2 Comments

There are very few authors from whom I will pre-order a book with nothing more than the title to go on. There are even fewer I’ll consider buying twice: once for the initial speedy Kindle read and once to own the book as a physical object. Jim C. Hines is on that list. And with his latest release, Terminal Alliance, he’s cemented his place there. The basic premise of the book can be boiled down to: What if human sanitation workers were the only ones […]

More than Kin, less than kind

September 14, 2017 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

Language is a damn funny thing. Not only the language we speak, but the way language shapes how we perceive the world, and also how we all end up with linguistic tics born of our job, our position in life, our hobbies, and other factors we probably aren’t even aware of.   Not sure how this relates to a novel about thieves in a magical world? Step inside, won’t you — we have much to talk about.
