Evolution

Absolutely superb. Gutting, terrifying, and hopeful.
The Queen of Ieflaria
Recommended by
sapphiction
I unintentionally binged this awesome fantasy. This book is was nearly impossible to put down, but I had to eat every now and then. Such a fun read!
I love the world-building, the dialogue, the characters, and pretty much everything about this book.
I can't wait for the sequel! I'm reading it next. Errr, I'll probably binge it too...
Saga #1
Recommended by
kevin
Created by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Fiona Staples, Saga is a beautifully intimate space opera.
It touches on race, religion, conflict, family and love, with a deft hand and imagery that is just sublime.
Proof that Image Comics' creator-owned approach really works. These are the kinds of stories that comics were made for.
Interzone #297
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue of Interzone, with interesting stories by Paul E. Franz, James Sallis and Cécile Cristofari.
Full review at [ https://sohkamyung.github.io/reviews/magazines/Interzone/20240120-Interzone297.html ].
Fantasy & Science Fiction, July/August 2019
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An above average issue, containing a tale connecting past and present by G.V. Anderson and light fantasy tales by Andrej Kokoulin (translated by Alex Shvartsman) and Molly Gloss. Cassandra Khaw and Alex Irvine start and end the issue, respectively, with tales related to the cover.
The Last Words of Madeleine Anderson
Recommended by
kevin
The Last Words of Madeleine Anderson by Helen Kitson is a post-modern tale of friendship and fate, where the truth is only a simulacrum of itself. It's probably literary, but it's far more accessible than that suggests.
This is a truly accessible modern classic that should be winning all the awards.
It's tense while cozy. It's suspenseful while relaxed.
And it's very, very good.
Nonplayer #2
Recommended by
kevin
As wonderful and entrancing as the first issue.
This beautifully illustrated second comic from Nate Simpson, opens up the world, broadens the scope and sets up some interesting conflict.
I can't wait for the third in the series. This is a story to get lost in.
Well done Nate and Image Comics.
Coeur d'Alene Waters
Recommended by
kevin
Filled with flawed characters, a corrupt police force, bought and manipulated by a wealthy local family; it's a rich background to the main tale of redemption, coming to terms and moving on.
Slow in parts, it is however, a worthwhile read in itself, serving as an insight into the mining communities of the region and their demise as a local industry and employer.
INTERZONE #287 (MAY-JUN 2020)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue with a long, strange, tale of travel to another world that may yet be ours by Tim Lees, Eugenia Triantafyllou and ending with a tale of a timely intervention by Val Nolan that may yet make America great again in a different way.
The Lampmaker of Low Street

What a great short read!
Can't wait to get started on Simon's other novellas.
F&SF, March/April 2020

sohkamyung
A better than average issue with good tales by Matthew Hughes, Gregor Hartmann, Amanda Hollander, Elizabeth Bear and a fantastic tale involving thinking mechanicals beings by Ian Tregillis.
The Outskirter's Secret
Recommended by
kevin
The amazing second book in what is, so far, an outstanding fantasy series.
The Outskirter's Secret expands on the concepts in the first book, but takes us out of the relative safety of the Inner Lands and into the wilderness of the Outskirts.
I can't believe I've only just started reading this series and am already on the third book.
Still a MUST READ.
