Red Moon | Kim Stanley Robinson
Pickpick

Intriguing mystery sprawling between the Moon and Earth. There's a hint at the end that this may be a trilogy.

Three Secret Cities | Matthew Reilly
Pickpick

The latest in the sequence that began with Seven Anxcienr Wonders. Read it in one sitting (Reilly can be relied upon for page turners) but I'm wondering how he's going to resolve the plot twist at the end. It's hokum but enjoyable hokum.

In some ways, this trilogy is the culmination of the story that began with Magician, only here it is not just a few worlds at risk but the entire multiverse. Feist can be relied upon for a good story and his Midkemia nivels are unusual in featuring a multiverse.

Jodi Taylor is one of the very few authors who can make me laugh out loud. Her latest short story is no exception.

The Dreamblood Duology | N. K. Jemisin
Pickpick

Interesting world building that spins off from Ancient Egyptian mythology but not obviously so. Not sure how I feel about the Gatherers.

The Story of Kullervo | J.R.R. Tolkien
Mehso-so

For the die-hard Tolkien fan. Also of interest to anyone who likes translations from Old English or old Nordic languages.

Absolute Proof | Peter James
Mehso-so

Enjoyable enough. Thriller about the hunt for genetic proof of the existence of God.

Time Was | Ian McDonald
Pickpick

Slightly dreamy and poetic, which is at odds with the story, but nonetheless enjoyable

Early Riser | Jasper Fforde
Pickpick

Fforde has been absent for a few years but is back with a new universe. Fforde is very good at evoking worlds that are slightly askew from our own and, like Gaiman & Pratchett, he uses them to point out the absurdities of our existence.
