This review may contain spoilers for the first book in the series, Unearthed. Check out my review and author interview here. After the fate of Jules and Mia in the last book, I enjoyed seeing Undying pick up exactly where the last book left off especially with the huge twist at the end. It was fascinating […]
This review contains spoilers for This Mortal Coil, the first book in the series. Check out my review here if you haven’t read it yet (which you should)! When it comes to action-packed, science fiction about gene manipulation, you can’t get any better than this series. I absolutely love how this series covers DNA manipulation, […]
When it comes to retrospective, slice of life, space-dwelling reads about the human condition, no one does it better than Becky Chambers. I adored the third installment in the Wayfarers series focusing on some humans who have settled in the Exodus Fleet, a self-sustaining colony.

But when she’s finally captured, at the beginning of the book, everyone is surprised […]
Mirage: something that appears real or possible but is not in fact so. The title of MIRAGE may suggest an optical illusion of sorts, but the story in this book felt so real and touching when I read it. This Moroccan-inspired fantasy brings readers across planets and kingdoms. It touches upon colonization, oppression, and the […]
Note: This is the sequel to Defy the Stars, which you can find my review over here. Minor spoilers ahead! I was extremely excited to pick up Defy the Worlds because I adored the previous book! I loved the science-fiction elements, the determined characters who were also filled with self-doubt, and in general the questions that […]
I love superheroes and books with Chinese characters, so it was a no-brainer to pick up Not Your Sidekick which was also our Name of the Book Club June book of the month. Spanning a world where superpowers are common, and superheroes and villains rule the streets, the book follows a bisexual Chinese-Vietnamese heroine called Jess […]
