Thoughts: Kitty in the Underworld, by Carrie Vaughn

Posted on 20 May 2017 by Dove

I’m at peace with the fact that the last three of the Kitty Norville opinion pieces (I don’t think I’m knowledgeable, interesting or authoritative enough to say I “review” books particularly) are probably going to be me trying to analyse … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Ancillary Mercy, by Ann Leckie

Posted on 18 May 2017 by Dove

Oh gosh, where to start? Ancillary Mercy is the last in the trilogy, and as such it was both exhilarating and painful. I worried that I wouldn’t have much to say on this one, as I’ve been so effusive in … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Kitty Rocks The House, by Carrie Vaughn

Posted on 17 May 2017 by Dove

Well, it’s been a while since we were back in paranatural Denver. Not because I was avoiding it (though I understand if my last rant might have given that impression) but because when people lend me books they get bumped … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Katherine Carlyle by Rupert Thomson

Posted on 14 May 2017 by Dove

It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these. I’ve been full of cold, and because I’m in the middle of an editing pass on one of my own terrible manuscripts, I decided it was more important to maintain … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Ancillary Sword, by Ann Leckie

Posted on 3 May 2017 by Dove

Was this on my TBR? NOPE. But technically it should have been, because I did read the first one and I always intended to read the others! I probably don’t have much interesting to say about this one, because I … Continue reading →

Thoughts: The Accusation, by Bandi, translated by Deborah Smith

Posted on 30 April 2017 by Dove

OK so firstly, read this book. Just read it. Disclaimer: This book is probably worth more than my idiot opinions of it, but whoops, you’re getting them anyway.

Thoughts: The Quantum Thief, by Hannu Rajaniemi

Posted on 28 April 2017 by Dove

Was this book on my TBR? NOPE. But we were on a long train journey and I’d finished The New York Trilogy and it was either work on my own manuscript or steal Spuggy’s book.

Thoughts: The New York Trilogy, by Paul Auster

Posted on 26 April 2017 by Dove

Oh my goodness. This book marks a great milestone in my TBR list, and also serves to show just how behind I am (and getting behinder all the time, as this year seems to be the year of Reading Books … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Kitty Steals the Show, by Carrie Vaughn

Posted on 22 April 2017 by Dove

Yes, it’s that time again. More Kitty! We will make it through. I hope you enjoy me taking worldbuilding too seriously because that’s literally all this is.

Thoughts: The House of Shattered Wings, by Aliette de Bodard

Posted on 20 April 2017 by Dove

Oh man, I have the most amazing backlog to work through. It’s incredible how much you can read when you’re trying to avoid looking at your own manuscript. The House of Shattered Wings wasn’t on my list, or my radar … Continue reading →
