Review: Witch Of The Federation III

Witch Of The Federation III Witch Of The Federation III by Michael Anderle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Actual Rating 4.5 Stars

This story was a perfect fit for me at the time of high stress at work. I am so happy I found it!
Just checked and Witch Of The Federation IV will be released on the 31st of December 2019. How cool is that! Off course I personally will be waiting for the Audiobook version but it is good to know that there is a Kindle version I can fall back too if I will become super impatient.
A truly fitting last review of the year - see you on the other side everybody!

Children of Time Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A very unique and well-written story.
Re-read: am returning to this in preparation to proceeding to Book 2 in the Series.
It is still as good as the first time, love all the details!

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The plot twist at the ned was so underwhelming, I really did not like it.
Ok writing but nothing special in anything else.

Review: World Engines: Destroyer

World Engines: Destroyer World Engines: Destroyer by Stephen Baxter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Baxter surprised me! I really did not think he can white something like this. Happy he did!
You know I read a review before deciding to get this book that noted everything I loved about the book as a negative and as a result gave it a negative review. For me it was a perfect review to help and decide to get the book, just shows how important honest reviews are, you might just inadvertently be helping a person without knowing even it!
It is a really good Cli-Fi but not only ecological off course. It touches on very many different topics that are very much in our future and it is good to see more and more good Sci-Fi Authors whiting on pressing issues in a way that is accessible to more and more people.

Review: Parno's Company

Parno's Company Parno's Company by N.C. Reed
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Actual Rating 1.5 Stars

I am so disappointed right now! I was sincerely hoping this might be the next Emberverse, but no, no such luck! Where is the actual post-apocalypse? Where is the world-building? So many inconsistencies I lost count! Don't get me wrong, I understand that my standards were unreasonably high from the very beginning, I did think it will be something akin M.S. Stirling's great post-apoc but come on! I was waiting and waiting and waiting, but it was really reading as a medieval semi-drama. What a lost opportunity! Makes me really really sad...

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one was a lot slower for me than the previous one. There were some dull moments but I did like how the story progressed. I am really excited for Book 3 and am a bit sad that the story will end soon...

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Actual Rating 4.5 Stars

Absolutely LOVED the story. Need to wait a couple of days for the audio-book version of Book 2 to land... am counting the minutes! I even proper teared-up during one of the exchanges with the parents... Very nice to see classism addressed in modern Science Fiction in such an innovative and opened way - really well done!

Review: Two Minutes To Midnight

Two Minutes To Midnight Two Minutes To Midnight by Willow Salix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I needed a light read and I found it! Looking around for something outside of my normal reding line-up, I really enjoyed this one, nicely written, amusing at times, something that hit the spot for me. I don't know yet if I will be continuing with the Series as such but it was fun while it lasted.
