Justina Robson is one of those writers that I enjoy reading but afterwards my brain is seriously wondering what I just read. Nico and Twostar are orphans who grew up in the underbelly of the society of Harmony. The story starts with Nico being sentenced to death and then goes back for a bit to see w...
A bit of a slog for me, again I think it's a mismatch between reader and book. This is firmly a new weird book, suitable for fans of China Mieville.In a city where women are in charge, in a world without a name where in general women have the upper hand, there is a family. Tralane Huntingore is the...
A real oddball of a novel, which is mostly good, but occasionally puzzling. Background is thus: a quantum bomb (babble babble something about CERN technobabble) was set off in the early aughts, reordering history and setting Earth in touch with other realms, stuff like where elves and demons and the...
Spoiler Rating: High Hello again, Katie! At last, your long-awaited letter. I write to you about a sci fi/fantasy thing (I struggled to find a word to describe it; "thing" does well enough, I guess) by Justina Robson: Keeping It Real. As you're aware, I'm not really a science fiction reader (u...
It's fairly rare that I stop reading a book as early as I quit Natural History, but it deserved it. There I am, on the train into Copenhagen, when I get slapped in the face with this: Frosty-assed and autistic, she was; he didn't want to touch her. I sat in stunned silence for a while, blinkin...
Natalie Armstrong sees the world, and the mind, differently. She's on the cutting edge of innovation using technology to repair and bridge neural pathways. But what can heal can also hurt, and her technology is leaked to the less scrupulous and less patient. So starts a game of cat and mouse with...
I don't usually add a synopsis on my reviews here but I can't do the plot justice so I'll add this to do it for me. The Quantum Bomb of 2015 changed everything. The fabric that kept the universe's different dimensions apart was torn and now, six years later, the people of earth exist in uneasy co...
The reasons that this is 'Primus' on my Transformer character reading challenge should be obvious. This is also the sexiest book. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. This is gonna be super long, so have a page break! Let me make one thing clear. If you ask me about my religious beliefs, I will...
Lila Black has had an interesting history with Elves. Magic, elemental energy, demons and technology exist side-by-side in this alternative version of our world. A little Shadowrunish, or maybe TORG, there was a Quantum Bom and the spaces between the different dimensions were pulled together, or r...
