Rated Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons 8/10

Rated Honor's Knight 8/10

Sometimes cliches work. "Action packed" truly covers <i>Honor's Knight</i>, with a breakneck pace and more alien monsters than you can shake a blaster at. Compared to the first in the series there is less of the bodice-ripper subtext and more plot twists and reversals but Bach keeps things moving so quickly it's impossible to spot the holes (which are few). She knows how to do Space Opera right and I look forward to reading #3 and finally discovering what the hell is going on.

Rated The Red-Stained Wings 10/10

Rated The Unicorn Hunters 10/10

Free Book Alert!

So my book is on promotion on Kobo, discounted to $0 from 3rd to 9th August, but I think it's only available in these locations: CA, US, UK, AU, NZ. It's being featured on the Free Page of Diverse Stories, so hoping it gets some more attention. Help spread the word!

Here is a link to get it.

Rated Een vreselijk land: de mooiste journalistieke verhalen van Nederland 6/10

Rated Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout 8/10

Really affecting and raw, not especially self-flattering, and compelling. It's both a showbiz memoir and a coming-out memoir - Laura Jane Grace was well into a music career before she transitioned, though her process of discovering her gender was happening in small ways all along. Intersperses entries from her touring career into the narrative, so you see her story from multiple points of view, in a way.

Rated Babel 8/10

mostly enjoyed this with some moments of reservation. It’s a clever concept and well-fleshed-out.
