Book Review: Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells
The Murderbot Diaries have quickly become one of my favourite sci-fi series. They’re witty, thoughtful, and packed with a decent amount of action, and I typically find myself laughing out loud several times throughout each book.

Book Review: Artificial Condition by Martha Wells
The Murderbot Diaries are quickly becoming a sci-fi favourite for me. I was so enamoured with the first book, All Systems Red, that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the second, and I’m super pleased that it didn’t disappoint. In Artificial Condition, Wells delivers another chapter in Murderbot’s quest to discover what happened…

Book Review: Golden Son by Pierce Brown
When I picked up Red Rising for the first time a couple of months ago, it completely blew me away. It was exceptionally good sci-fi, probably better than I’ve read in a long time, and I was hooked on the premise immediately. You never know how a sequel will fare when the first book comes…

Book Review: All Systems Red by Martha Wells
I was first introduced to Martha Wells through my Illumicrate subscription, which featured her book, Witch King. I found it to be extremely dense fantasy, but the humour and world-building were so immaculate that she’d piqued my interest. A few people recommended picking up her Murderbot Diaries series of novellas and now, it’s my newest…

Book Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
Like many, I was obsessed with The Hunger Games when I was younger. I can vividly remember reading all three books in a marathon fever dream in my dorm room while I ignored every paper and academic responsibility I had until I’d finished. I put off reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes because frankly,…

Book Review: Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Red Rising has been on my TBR for ages and I’m kicking myself for not starting it sooner. Set on a futuristic version of Mars, in a solar system where planets have been conquered by humans, this book had a plot that sucked me in immediately and had characters that were gorgeously layered with complexities…

Book Review: Starter Villain by John Scalzi
Starter Villain was one of my most anticipated releases of September, so I was thrilled when I received a complimentary ARC from Net Galley and Tor Books. Much to my delight, this book turned out to be everything I wanted it to be and then some.

Book Review: This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
This Is How You Lose The Time War was an absolutely gorgeous book. The prose was particularly poetic, the premise incredibly unique, and the story itself was heart-wrenching and beautiful. It was an incredibly quick read, coming in at under 200 pages, but it punched above its weight in the impact it brought. This book,…

Book Review: The Power by Naomi Alderman
A friend of mine was reading The Power with her book club and reached out to recommend it to me as one she thought I’d like. I’m so grateful whenever people think of me while reading because more often than not, I find they’re spot on in finding me a book that’s enjoyable and that…
