REVIEW: Moss’d in Space by Rebecca Thorne

JayneBook Reviews / DNF Reviewscozy / LGBTQIA characters / Science Fiction / sentient plant / space opera2 Comments

Torian Razner finally bought a starship, and contrary to Amelia’s assessment, it was not “a meteoric sign of stupidity.” Sure, the alien starship may have been abandoned for a century, and it may be covered in moss now… but it’s Torian’s ticket to freedom, regardless of what her ex… ah, ... more >

Illustrated cover featuring a silhouette of a guy and a girl on the left and right respectively, their silhouettes are the night sky and the background is a daylight and slightly darker blue sky with a red sunset down the bottom. The foot of the cover is an ocean with a building in the middle of it, being splashed by waves.

REVIEW: Last Chance to Save the World by Beth Revis

KaetrinB Reviews / Book ReviewsEdelweiss / romantic adventure / SFF / space opera4 Comments

Dear Beth Revis, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the Chaotic Orbits trilogy which started in Full Speed To A Crash Landing and continued in How To Steal A Galaxy. I admit I was a little concerned when I opened the novella and saw it was only 77 pages ... more >

Illustrated cover mainly in teal/blue. There is a space scene with stars and planets all over and a black silhouette of a coule with their backs to each other and a teal blue swirl almost like smoke rising all of which have stars and planets scattered throughout. There are a couple of tiny spaceships as well. At the bottom of the cover the colour palette changes to pinks/orange like a sunset and there is a building which looks like it could be a government type building or a fancy mansion at the foot of the cover in the centre, in white.
