It’s not often that we see LGBTQIA+ own voices read in Aussie YA, so I thought it might be a good idea to share what I loved about these two books! One of them is a gender fluid sci-fi read about time travel, and the other is a memoir about Nevo transitioning and discovering their […]
At first, I was actually quite hesitant to read this one. I didn’t have the best experience with Claudia Gray’s previous Firebird Trilogy, but I couldn’t resist an adventure and romance set in space. I’m extremely glad I picked it up in the end though, because Gray writes extremely complex characters in a star-filled world […]
If there’s anything that can pull me out of a reading slump, it would be anything related to The Lunar Chronicles, one of my favourite series based on reimagined sci-fi fairytale characters. I’m glad that even upon the conclusion of the series, there’s a short story collection (Stars Above), and a graphic novel series to […]
If there’s a subject that I love to read about, it’s time travel, and Passenger last year was a detailed time travelling book with a deep family history that took us to different locations. While they are split apart, Etta travelling with her father Henry and Nicholas and Sophia trying to reunite with Etta, they […]
Waking Gods is the 2nd book in the Themis Files series. Check out my review for Sleeping Giants here. After reading and loving the first book, I was super excited about Waking Gods – giant alien robots on Earth is already hard enough to believe, but this sequel gives us not one, not two, but 13 […]
This book was seriously out of this world – I pretty much read it in one sitting! With a diverse cast of characters, phenomenal world-building, and full of heart-stopping action that keeps readers on their toes, Shadow Run introduces us to space like we’ve never seen before. I absolutely adored the crew of the Kaitan Heritage, […]
It took me 2 weeks but that was a damn good read! I love the sci-fi game Mass Effect and this book is possibly the best fictional space opera I’ve ever read. Centered around a crew made up of humans, aliens and AI, The Long Way explores their character dynamics and the way of their […]
If the words ‘giant robots’ hasn’t encouraged you to pick this book up, then I don’t know what will. I picked up Sleeping Giants upon the recommendation of my trusted book buddies, Jaz and Joy, and I’m so glad I did. It helped to end my three week Gemina obsession that wouldn’t let up – only because it’s a […]
They say there’s three sides to every story – and there’s three ways of reading Replica. With two stories printed on either side of the book, you can choose to read one story at a time, or alternate chapters between Lyra and Gemma, which is what I did. Lyra is a replica who starts off […]
