• Review – Iron Widow – Xiran Jay Zhao

  After collapsing the corrupt government, Wu Zetian now is forced to deal with the aftermath of rebuilding a world. Xiran Jay Zhao has such a talent for writing politic worlds that will truly make you hold a mirror up to your own, I can’t recommend it enough.

• Review: Iron Widow – Xiran Jay Zhao

  Zetian is done with following orders and bowing to the orders of men, she’s ready to make them all burn. The epitome of feminine rage and I’m obsessed.

  Hitch-hikers galaxy meets bake off in an intergalactic adventure, surrounding the politics of food. A lot of fun to start a duology and I’m excited to see where it goes next.

• Review: Prophet – Sin Blaché and Helen Macdonald

  Imagine a world where nostalgia could just be the death of us. No, really. This is a cleverly told tale of corruption and unlikely friendships and an absolute must read.
