Book review: The Exiled Fleet (A novel of the Divide #2) by J. S. Dewes
Finding intimate character moments in the midst of a sprawling space opera may seem like a strange anomaly, but the truth is that the two go together in ways many people not familiar with genre may not fully expect. Much like movie blockbusters which neatly characters with real, fully-rounded humanity Continue Reading

Book review: Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood
