Review: The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty

January 30, 2023 by Arun Leave a Comment

A fascinating book that reads like a story straight out of 1001 Nights. It’s rich in world, excellent in characters and satisfied my fancy for swashbuckling sea pirate adventure. The Legend and the Woman behind it, captain us into a tale of mystery and adventure filled with evil magic, sea monsters and mythical beings!

Review: The Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer by Janelle Monáe

April 11, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

To be blunt, I’m not a big reader of short story collections. It’s something that has been a sore spot in my reading history, and something I’ve wanted to amend—at some point. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t found the right collection, or there’s a part of me that connects much more deeply with a novel. But, when I was presented with the opportunity to read and review Janelle Monáe’s new sci-fi collection, The Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer, I was able to slip past whatever mental hurdle I had and dove right in. As a fan of Monáe’s music and amazing concept albums, it came as no surprise that the world and atmosphere of these five stories (which are actually more like novelette length) bleed off the page. While not all of the stories succeed, the interconnected nature of this rich world and its poignant themes makes this collection a worthwhile investment.

Review: The Blood Trials (The Blood Gift Duology #1) by N. E. Davenport

March 23, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

I loved N. E. Davenport’s The Blood Trials. I went into this book without any expectations and turned the final page both surprised and satisfied. It offers up a complex world, rife with geopolitical conflicts, futuristic technologies and awesome fight scenes. But it also introduces a dark, supernatural magic system that plays into the racial and social dynamics of its corrupt society. All of this combines for a solid debut and a wondrous world that I can’t wait to read more of.
