The Devil's Trill

Recommended by
sakina
Fun, light read, crazy and innovative, plenty of intrigue and weirdness. Takes a sudden left turn towards the end of the first chapter and never looks back.

Daughter of the Sun

Recommended by
sapphiction
Oh, wow, this is an enjoyable read. I literally couldn't put it down. It stole my whole day.
It has gripping plot. The characters are lovable. It has a good amount of humor. Also, a lot of rich world building.
The second I finished it I was bummed out because it was over. I wanted to read it again immediately.

The Lost Steersman

Recommended by
kevin
A very different book to the previous two in the series.
The Lost Steersman takes a different turn about half-way through, where the scope and scale of the world and its inhabitants undergoes another astonishing twist.
I got a definite Jane Goodall vibe from this book. Our understanding of the steerswomen grows in this wonderful instalment in a fantastic and surprising series. Loved it!

Steel Frame

Recommended by
kevin
As stunning, different, deep, exhilarating, and as wonderfully written as Origin Complex, but with a rawness that its successor lacks, in place of sequel polish.
Two exciting books in this science fiction universe is simply not enough. Sorry, Andrew.

Between the Scanlines - Issue 1

Recommended by
kevin
I love a good zine! And Between the Scanlines hits the sweet spot for me; not too long that it stretches each issue, yet filled with plenty of retro gaming info.
Sasha and Kit are doing amazing work here. Buy as many issues as you can, and fill your eyes with gaming goodness with a lovely helping of personality and passion!

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Mar/Apr 2022

Recommended by
sohkamyung
One of the better issues of F&SF I've read so far under editor Sheree Renée Thomas, with a good mix of stories that make the reader think or feel for the characters. Very noteworthy is "Nana" by Carl Walmsley, with a twist at the end that will make you reread the entire story in a new light.

Fat Vampire

Recommended by
genxxer
This is a delight for anyone into delicious dark comedy. Reginald Baskins is a man-mountain who finds himself turned by his colleague. This is one of the few books that I have genuinely laughed while reading.
