REVIEW: The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler

JennieBook Reviews / C ReviewsDystopia / futuristic / religion / Sci-fi2 Comments

Note: There are some spoilers in this review. I must be a glutton for punishment to choose this book during a pandemic. But I generally like dystopian stories, and I’ve heard good things about The Parable of the Sower over the years (Janine is a fan, I believe). So, feeling ... more >

REVIEW: Nightchaser by Amanda Bouchet

KaetrinA- Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended Readsromantic adventure / Sci-fi / space opera6 Comments
