Neologisms in science fiction are double-edged swords, they can make the book more fantastical and be an important per of the world building, on the other hand if not handled right they can make the narrative impenetrable and downright irritating.

I picked this up on a whim; Waterstones marketing done right. I’ve not seen the film, and I didn’t know much about it before reading. I was a little unsure, as I’m not great with violence (I had to take a break from The Song of Fire and Ice when there was just too much of it), so I was surprised at ...
I read this book with such high expectations I found it a bit disappointing. It was a good book, but lacking.
