Review: Daybreak (Sorrowsong University #2) by Autumn Woods
I read this in two days. I only stopped reading when I had to. I quite literally cried at the end. I actually adore this duology, and I know I’ll be re-reading it again in the future.
Review: Moss’d in Space (Moss’d in Space #1) by Rebecca Thorne
What a wonderful found family story. Torian buys an ancient alien spaceship with a life support AI called Moss and the entire story unfolds from here. Thorne has masterfully crafted a personality for Moss that suits the AI perfectly, from his complicated feelings around being abandoned by his creator, to his need to protect Torian there’s a great mix of humour and heart within Moss’d in Space.
Review: Unapologetic Love Story by Elle McNicoll
Oh I completely and utterly loved this. In all honesty I didn’t really expect to, I went in thinking that it would be a fun romance I’d enjoy but I didn’t expect to love it so much.
Review: Clara & The Devil, Volume 1 by Olivie Blake and Little Chmura
It is rare I get the opportunity to review a graphic novel, so when Tor emailed me to ask if I wanted to review Clara & The Devil I jumped at the chance. I’ve never seen or read the original Webtoon so I went into this completely blind. I devoured the whole graphic novel in just two sittings as it’s a story that keeps a lot of information close to its chest, but hints at just enough to keep you reading. This is just Volume 1 and it’s clear that there is a lot more to be explored in the next volumes.
Review: Honeysuckle by Bar Fridman-Tell
Going into Honeysuckle I had no idea how much I would love it. The synopsis sounded like something I would be into, but the publishers description of ‘feminist Frankenstein’ had me nervous. However, I’m very very happy to report that this might be one of my favourite books of the year so far. It’s dark, haunting and was filled with a slow-burn dread that had me racing through the pages hoping the characters would realise what I had.
Review: Mother of Death and Dawn (The War of Lost Hearts #3) by Carissa Broadbent
Mother of Dawn and Death’s best character arc is Aefe, hands down. In Children of Fallen Gods I was very fond of her, and then over the course of Mother of Death and Dawn I went through so many emotions with her. From seeing her as a villain, to seeing her just as a broken, used person who makes the wrong choices for love, to making the right choices for herself. Her growth and change is what carried the emotional side of this book for me.
Review: Sentient (Ice Plague Wars #2) by Michael Nayak
I loved Symbiote, and after that ending which left the door wide open for the second book I was so excited to get reading Sentient. I’m very glad to say that it did not disappoint, Nayak took the pace he had from the first book and just kept going. This time the stakes were even higher as the plague-carriers find their way to a larger base that has actual contact with the wider world. Nayak has actual real life experience with the setting and that really shines through as he makes McMurdo Station so real and work perfectly as a setting for Sentient.
Children of Fallen Gods (The War of Lost Hearts #2) by Carissa Broadbent
The PoVs, the reveals, the cliffhanger, I’m excited to see where book 3 is going.
Review: This Gilded Abyss (The Titan’s Wrath Trilogy #1) by Rebecca Thorne
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you have played and loved Bioshock, you will love this. It has the same vibe, scope and darkness of that series, plus the addition of seeing how this huge submarine fell.
Review: Chef’s Kiss at the Chalet by Sookie Snow
Sometimes you just need to read a small-town romance, and Chef’s Kiss at the Chalet ticked all the right boxes for me. It was cute, cosy and very low-stakes. I had a wonderful few days reading it, and it made me crave all the festive foods!
Review: Made Things (Made Things #1) by Adrian Tchaikovsky
If there’s one thing I love about Adrian Tchaikovsky it’s that he is such a versatile author and I never really know what I’m getting with each book. In this one we take a look at the bottom of a magical city, following Coppelia who is a young thief with puppets for friends. Puppets who are totally autonomous and have a tenuous partnership with her.
