2.5 starsLoved the premise, hated the execution. The narration for the audio book was also extremely wooden, making it a struggle to listen to the entire thing. full review to follow
"The Scorpion Rules" sat on my TBR list for a long time because I felt it was going to be grim and I didn't feel up to it. It is grim but it is also a beautifully told story about really bad things. The basic premise is that, 400 years before the story, a (formally human) AI, Talis, took over the ...

Erin Bow writes books for me. Now, I don't mean that literally, she doesn't even know me, but so rarely do you find an author who not only writes well, but writes to your predilections.

A very interesting and different take on the popular dystopian genre. A little dull for me to thoroughly enjoyed but I did like the complexity of the evil leader and the fact that it is that different from the hundreds of other dystopian novels out there.

Except that witches are real. And Kate meets one. In fact she bargains with him endangering in doing so ...

I was really looking forward to this one as it was promising to become one of the biggest new Dystopian novels of the year. The concept had me immediately and after that I just wanted to read it. In a world that has almost been destroyed by climate change (always the climate change though) and a l...
