Rated The Galaxy, and the Ground Within 10/10
As with the other books in the series, a very human story about some very non-human characters. The theme of having a group of people stuck in lockdown together is very timely.<br><br>I'm sad to see the end of these books, I'll definitely revisit them again.

Rated Mordew 10/10
Certainly not to everyone's taste with the unfettered weirdness and often warped imagery on display, but I loved it. From the impenetrable world-building (which the equally impenetrable 85-page glossary that's almost a book in itself did little to help with) to the Dickensian urchins, to the 'Natural Philosophy' appendix, the whole thing is a glimpse into something very 'other'.
