An excellent fantasy novel

5 stars

I really like Kvothe's story and look forward to reading the next book. The usage of different timelines in the context of retelling in the book's present time was especially effective storytelling.

Kim Stanley Robinson: A Short, Sharp Shock (EBook, 1990, Mark V. Ziesing) 5 stars

Fantastical science fiction novella

5 stars

I enjoyed this novella very much after reading it on the recommendation of an author I really enjoy. Hard to categorize this since it blends elements science fictional, fantastical and even epical hero's journey. I can't pin down exactly why but it reminds me of John Brunner's Compleat Traveller in Black in very good ways.

Greg Egan: Morphotropic (EBook, 2024) 5 stars

Another engaging exploration of a different reality from Greg Egan

5 stars

Engaging exploration of a world where cells are more generic and called cytes. The cytes can survive on their own as unicellular organisms, group together in multicultural organisms and even be exchanged between different people or animals. #Bookstodon
