So, I quite enjoyed the first book in Moss’ Fear Saga, Fear the Sky. I thought it was a fairly unique take on the alien invasion story, and was built around the foreboding notion that we would be able to watch the encroachment of our doom for a solid 10 years leading up to the armada’s arrival. The fact that it was structured like an espionage/spy thriller sold me on the series, despite qualms over relatively bland, uninteresting characters. Fear the Survivors continues in much […]
The Space Time Continuum Is Collapsing in a Delightful Romp
It is inevitable that I start by comparing To Say Nothing of the Dog to Doomsday Book, the other Connie Willis novel I recently reviewed. Though very much related in that involves the same delightful Oxford time travel team, this is a very different story, much more a light-hearted romp through Victorian England with references to mystery novels of that time (and later times). In spite of how very different the tone of the book is, I loved it as well. It’s like Doctor Who–some episodes are fun and […]
A brief visit to New Crobuzon and other exotic locales
Books of short stories are always hard to review, and China Mieville books are also hard to review, so I’m not sure how much I have to say about this one. I love China, and his books always make me think, and he’s amazing at atmosphere. He’s in this weird in-between limbo where I’d almost call him one of my favorite authors, but none of his actual books would make my favorites books list. I’ve been spacing out and savoring his stuff since I discovered him two Cannonballs […]
Dolph Kids 4 life
The caption to this picture is pretty much how I felt after reading this book. After enduring the 2nd book I somehow talked myself immediately into reading the third one. I was hooked…not because it was good mind you, but because Love, Lattes and Angel promised me voodoo priestesses, reincarnation and the Bermuda Triangle (and delivered on all three I think). Let me make one thing very clear before I tell you EVERYTHING about this book. It is pure garbage. Many times I caught […]
Now that Sal knows the truth… J/K there is so much more to learn!
This is book 2 of the Parasitology trilogy. Apparently it was supposed to be a duology, but Ms. Grant had a lot more to say! Symbiont is a bit different than Parasite (book 1) was. Sal knows who she is, but she’s still trying to figure a lot of details out. She knows she can trust her boyfriend & her dogs, & everybody else she’s (rightfully) wary about. There are a LOT LOT LOT of “sleepwalkers” in this book. I was trying to explain […]
I wish I would have realized this series is not for me before I wasted all this time reading it.
I should have known better. I really should have. And I should have kept my big mouth shut about this book. Halfway through I decided to blab to Goodreads that I was actually really enjoying this book, way more than I had the first two, and that maybe juuuuuust maybe I would read a book in this series, and by these authors, that I really, truly enjoyed. The universe loves destroying dreams. Seriously, the first half was really fun in a way this series hadn’t […]
