DNF--I won't assign a star rating. Great story idea that is well written (in style) but the story seems on the back burner and it seems the author is more concerned with having a platform to share her views on social issues and the environment. I don't read ya to be hit over the head with this type ...
What happens after death? Well for Tegan, it's another life. 100 years from now. A fascinating premise indeed! Who's not intrigued by the future? Curious about the state of our planet, the technology, even the fashion? I was really excited to get into this book and for the most part it I really enjo...
Squee! I adored this book. Karen's two previous books were fantasy, and I liked them a whole lot. But this, her first published science fiction novel, is even better. This is an adventure story set in an Australia 115 years in our future, a world of spiralling climate change, legislated xenophobia, ...
When we wake was a book I knew I had to get my hands on. From the moment I saw the stunning white cover I was so curious about what was inside. I don’t know how many times I have said this but I am going to say it once again, white covers are the best! On a shelf they POP amongst all the blacks & ...

But nothing prepares Teeg for what she's about to face in the future. What makes this novel worth reading is the interesting way that H...
At first sight When We Wake will call out for you, its bright, sharp, and almost white cover standing out on the shelf amongst the other covers, too dark in comparison. What the cover of When We Wake achieves is a sense of questioning already in the reader, and once the words ‘cryogenically frozen’ ...

To all you Beatles fans out there, get ready for this book. Even if you're not a fan of them, there is something to love about When We Wake. If ...
When We Wake is an entertaining novel, a great read, that explores humanity in an honest, chilling manner. There is a lot to like, especially the characters and the terrifying future that seems all too plausible, but I had a few issues with the world building.Tegan’s plight in waking up in a century...
Five or so years ago, I used to write. I'd vaguely planned something involving cryonics one hundred years into future Melbourne (named Batmania in honour of the city's heritage). So cryonics has been an interest that has unfortunately barely shown up in the fiction I've read, so I was desperate to r...
