Her Pretty Knight (Sapphic Lady Knights, #1)
Recommended by
Mage
A enjoyable read, I found myself really invested in the relationship between Della and Galeon, especially through the last few chapters. Its just that during the middle of the book one event can feel disconnected to another, maybe that's just me though.

good read, but more up to date info available at the daisy knowledge base.
Flora & Jim
Recommended by

Multi-layered masterpiece, as grim as it should be, and eminently quotable in any climate change conversation.
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jul/Aug 2023
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue, with interesting stories by Kristina Ten, DaVaun Sanders, Nick Thomas, Jennifer Hudak, and two standout stories by Peter S. Beagle and Aimee Ogden.

Inside Evil
Recommended by
kevin
A really fun read, with more depth and suspense than you might expect.
A parallel world, murder, a seemingly-sleepy village hiding deadly secrets.
A surprise hit with me, this is the first on a series that I really want to get back to.

Gritty, relentless, uniquely West Yorkshire and above all, realistic. Come for the plot, stay for the intense detail, well-drawn characters and well-thought-out political backdrop.
Fermi's Progress 4: The Phone Job
Recommended by
kevin
The Phone Job continues the journey we're all on together, and concludes it in the most space opera way possible. Not only with a bang, but with hope.
Fermi's Progress is a collection of novellas that read like Red Dwarf meets DS9, crashes into Blake's Seven, by way of every single Gerry Anderson series, and a whole lot of Space 1999.
This is great science fiction you'll love.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, November/December 2018

This is an above average issue with interesting stories by Y.M. Pang, Hanuš Seiner (translated by Julie Novakova), Nina Kiriki Hoffman and Bo Balder.
FIYAH - Issue One [EPUB]
Recommended by
kevin
I was expecting to be impressed. But instead I was STUNNED!
FIYAH Literary Magazine is an essential work. While the included stories can all be considered speculative fiction, the breadth of ideas is astounding.
It's all finished off with a nice sample of a self-published work. A great idea.
If the subsequent issues are half as good as this first one, you should definitely subscribe.
INTERZONE #281 (MAY-JUN 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A rather light-weight issue with stories that probably appeal to those who prefer a more 'literary' style of SF than what I would normally read. The stories that I found interesting were by James Warner, Andy Dudak and Malcolm Devlin.
Night Calls
Recommended by
kevin
Bought the full book immediately after enjoying the sample from Book View Cafe!
This magical, period adventure moved along at a quick pace. Plenty of events, but not al all rushed. The language, descriptions and sense of location & time seem spot-on.
It's the first in a series too, so I'm excited to read more.
Books like this are why I love buying and reading indie ebooks!
