Short but sweet! [spoiler] The world building was nicely done. It was very original and any inconsistencies were cleverly resolved (like understanding an alien species, or navigating different social and cultural mazes). You have to take on a speck of disbelief and go with it when seeing Jason re...

3.5 stars. Enjoyable m/m sci-fi novella, great original plot but lacking depth. Librarian Jason Vale is caught in a cataclysmic storm and falls through a wormhole (probably) and finds himself on the world of Skoria.

I am intrigued because I almost can't believe it. According to the blurb, it actually sounds more like one of those pulp-type m/m romances, but for some reason, I have it in my head that the unpublished ones I've heard of are the serious ones. Makes me wonder if it's going to be serious or pulp...y....

2.5It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't anything special at all, despite the quite original sounding world building. It's dubbed sci-fi, but it isn't as complicated or hard to follow as some usually are, so it's a nice and simple read.There was one quirk which I wasn't sure if it wasn't well thought ...
