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 […]

Edited to add yeah I didn’t even get more than 250 words into this review before realizing absolutely this was a great book. This is the book you want to pick up and read when you’re wondering what to read next. You’re not committing to a series–I can 100% guarantee you that […]

Arranged marriage, murder and miscommunications – in SPAAAACE!

This is near my perfect mix of scifi and romance. The romantic relationship is center stage, but there’s also twisty political machinations and a murder mystery, all of which serve to give the couple more insight into each other. It’s tropey as heck – arranged marriage, “oh no, we have to […]

A Love Story Even a Non-Romance Person Can Fall For

Romance is really not my genre; for one thing I’m very much ace and spent most of my growing up time wondering what was wrong with all the story people who apparently have no self-control with the lust and related emotional stuff. However, sometimes, there comes along a romance that has enough other elements, like actually interesting characters, plot, and/or setting, that I can appreciate the whole thing, romance focus or not. Winter’s Orbit is one of these kinds of stories. In some ways this […]

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.
