REVIEW: Infinity Gate by M.R. Carey

Dear M.R. Carey, I was first introduced to your work with The Girl with All the Gifts, which I loved. The next year I read the prequel, The Boy on the Bridge, which I also liked a great deal. In the past few years, I’ve read and enjoyed The Rampart ... more >

Dear M.R. Carey: This is the third and final book in a trilogy, following The Book of Koli and The Trials of Koli. Final books in suspenseful series often falter under the weight of expectations, so I went into this one with a bit of trepidation. When we last saw ... more >

REVIEW: One Day All This Will Be Yours by Adrian Tchaikovsky

JayneB Reviews / Book Reviewsarranged-marriage / dystopian / First-Person / Humor / Science Fiction / Time-Travel2 Comments

Welcome to the end of time. It’s a perfect day. Nobody remembers how the Causality War started. Really, there’s no-one to remember, and nothing for them to remember if there were; that’s sort of the point. We were time warriors, and we broke time. I was the one who ended ... more >
