" Science Fiction at its most epically, horrific best. Mankind has colonized the galaxy and is reaching for the stars but something dark and fathomless waits in the recesses of space, biding its time and when it strikes, life itself will change." 5 Stars Pros:  Deep and likable characters for all their flaws and a story that grabs you from the very beginning and never lets go.  Cons:  Some parts were a little technical, like how many G's a ship was flying under and the spin of planets, but it didn't take away from the story too much.  Full Review:  Julette Andromeda Mao. The heiress to a lunar corporate dynasty who's decided to turn her back on her life of luxury and venture out into the solar system to find work and earn her keep.   Miller. A cynical, downtrodden but intelligent and resourceful cop who works out of the Ceres Station on the Belt.  Holden, the commanding officer of a water hauler that ships ice from the rings of Saturn to stations ...

"Truly a collection of a variety of Bradbury's short stories, ranging from incredible, to mediocre to just plain strange. This was a large collection and truly a labor of love to read but I'm glad I did it." 3 Stars Pros:  Some truly beautiful pieces that only Bradbury could write.   Cons:  Though I adore Bradbury's writing, he does have a tendency to ramble.   Full Review:  Many of Bradbury's works are collections of short stories. And to be honest, a lot of the ones they chose to use in this collection were mediocre at best.

But there's also proof that they can't all be winners and homeruns with some serious weird ones like Unterderseaboat Doktor, The Dwarf and The Dragon.  This was definitely a labor of love, to finish this book. And I learned a valuable lesson...

"Set in Schwab's Red, White and Grey Londons, The Fragile Threads of Power is a new series that introduces the reader to a handful of new faces, welcomes back the old ones and of course, leaves the door wide open for more drama, intrigue and adventure."  3 Stars Pros:  Kell/Lila's relationship. It's not perfect but there are some truly tender moments between them, and I really enjoyed those. Rhy/Alucard/Nadiya and Ren are an odd family but a tender and loving one, sincere and comforting in its genuineness.  Cons:  Though I enjoyed the book every time I picked it up, I didn't find myself itching to sit down and read.  Full Review:  A rebellion, called The Hand has started in Red London because the magic is failing, and the people blame King Rhy. A device of extreme power called a Persalis is stolen by agents of The Hand from the Ferase Stras and Maris Patrol calls in her favor to Delilah Bard to retrieve it.  The thief brings the Persalis to a repair sh...
