“The Bone Season” by Samantha Shannon – believe the hype: original, gritty, exciting
Speculative Fiction Reviews
“Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card – audio book- excellent entertainment with an emotional punch
“Farthing” by Jo Walton – a chilling mystery set in an alternate 1949 Britain
“Reamde” by Neal Stephenson – Long, enjoyable read – “Snow Crash” all grown up
“Blackout” by Connie Willis – I couldn’t finish it – very disappointing
“The Long Earth” Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter – Dissapointing: Incomplete novel. Old fashioned SF. No emotion.
The Ambassador’s Mission (Traitor Spy Trilogy, #1) by Trudi Canavan: disappointing read – none of the magic of “The Black Magician Trilogy”
“The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins – best science fiction I’ve read in a decade
“I Shall Wear Midnight” by Terry Pratchett – Tiffany grows up
