Before I really get into things, I want to preface this post by saying that I have very limited experience with manga. To be honest, I’ve only been reading it for about a year and a half – though I have read A TON in that span. I grew up on Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Dragon […]
Summary The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, […]
Why top 11? Because I’m a maverick, that’s why. Somehow, we are now half-way through 2023 (more than half-way, I never met a deadline I couldn’t blow through) and I’ve barely made a dent in my TBR pile. It’s reassuring to know that as the robots compete with carbon dioxide to put a permanent spanner […]

Emma Mieko Candon is clearly a very talented writer, she’s created this incredibly unique world filled with fascinating ideas and intricate characters. The idea of AI Gods who corrupted and ruined the cities they created and kept is what really hooked me. Add in humans who can communicate with these AI and control what I imagined as huge mechs, this is a great book for anyone who loves a complex tale with sci-fi elements.
Someone pinch me… I don’t believe it’s the end of June and we’re halfway through 2023. I’m excited to bring you my favorite books so far of 2023.
Synopsis Yesterday, her biggest worry was failing an exam. Today, it’s saving the galaxy. From her six foot four inch height to the uniform white dots that peppered her skin in perfect geometric patterns, Ellie Whitmore was certainly unusual, but an alien from the other side of the galaxy? Of course not. That’s just what […]
