Series: Bel Dame Apocrypha #1 Picture an alien world with two suns colonized by humans from various Islamic sects where two major world powers have been at war for the last three hundred years over religious differences. There are “shifters” and people literally have bug technology. The doctors ar...
If you've ever said you wanted a space opera where sex, plotting and politics matter more than long descriptions of technology, you should consider reading The Stars are Legion. With a few skillful decisions of character and pacing, Hurley gives us a protagonist, some emotional investment, and takes...
I've seen this compared to Matter by Iain M. Banks, and while I understand the, uh, world building comparison (and the similarity in color schemes for the covers), that's just not the Culture novel it reminds me most of. This book is far closer to Surface Detail in plot (but without all the rape), o...
I needed this book. It is pure escapist fun. Brutal, but fun. Hurley throws you right in the deep end with Zan, a warrior who has lost her memory. She explains the minimum amount required for the narrative to make sense, so you’re basically forced to just to accept things until they get explained ...
There are a million great reviews of this book already, you don't need mine. Instead I'm going to nitpick one essay, then give you links to better review, and links to some of the essays as samples if you aren't already sold. But seriously, buy this book. Read this book. There will be a quiz. Eve...
HERO. Alright, it’s not like I agree with Hurley or can relate to her about everything, but I was tempted to make that comment several times while reading just for her speaking out. This series of essays was compulsively readable, on the whole, and although it focuses a lot on the struggles of wri...
Where do I even start with this book? I first heard of this book on BookTube. I became intrigued by it because of the gender aspects so when I went to the library, I thought I'd give it a go. Well, the gender aspects are about all I enjoyed from this book. That's not true. I also enjoyed the writi...
The Stars are Legion is a gorgeously crazy book. No matter how much speculative fiction you've read, I'll bet you've never read anything like it before. It was my first book by Hurley, and it won't be my last. The writing is gorgeous, deeply embedded with metaphor and allusion. (It's so very quotabl...
I’ve heard good things about this author, but I was doubtful. When I saw this short story on Tor.com, I thought it was a great opportunity to try a new author and see if we suit. We don’t. The story is engrossing – I couldn’t stop until I finished it – the world fantastic but surprisingly realistic,...
The Geek Feminist Revolution, the latest work by Kameron Hurley, is a collection of essays relating to feminism in writing. More specifically, on feminism in the SciFi/Fantasy world. Hurley is the winner of numerous awards for her writing, which includes two series and by once the final book in her ...
