What’s the collective noun for books about ravens?

What’s the collective noun for books featuring ravens? A group of actual ravens is an “unkindness,” so maybe it’s a discourteousness, just to enhance the erudition? Anyway, Ann Leckie, author of the Ancillary Justice trilogy, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke awards, and all-around excellent human being, is delving into fantasy! Her new …

Bright We Burn (Kiersten White) – July 10 – WHY is this trilogy ending? I mean, I know it has to. It’s not a series. Also, it’s based on historical figures who are extremely dead. (Well, one of them is a reinterpretation of Vlad Tepes, basis for Dracula, so maybe it could go on a …

Dread Nation Review: Holy Bonkers Just Buy This Already

Sometimes, and not on purpose, a book will just migrate its way down my TBR pile. It’s inevitable, I suppose. There’s an endless supply of both shiny new titles and neglected classics, and I can only read so many books at a time. Fortunately and unfortunately, I got to Dread Nation before too much time …

This was the first year I watched Eurovision, in no small part thanks to Catherynne Valente’s wonderful Space Opera. I think they owe her some royalties, or at least the chance to do publicity for them. If you’ve read anything by Valente, you already know how rad that would be. If you haven’t, Space Opera …

“It’s like Romeo and Juliet meets Mad Max meets X-Men with a little bit of Blade Runner cheering from the sidelines.” With a tagline like that, there was no way I wasn’t going to pick up Lifel1k3, even though the leetspeak title made me wince. But the problem with comparing yourself to an iconic work …

I have a confession to make. I judged this book by its cover. I almost didn’t buy The Epic Crush of Genie Lo because it looked like a combination of bad military SF from the color scheme and bad YA romance from the title. I was wrong. Forgive me, Mrs. Sharrow—you were a good kindergarten …

The Smoke Thieves by Sally Green is an intriguing high fantasy with excellent political intrigue but which lacks the grit and pathos of the Half Bad trilogy. It is Green’s first foray into a wholly fantastical world, and her tentative approach undercuts some of the drama and intrigue. Still, with its complex, interwoven story lines, …

I live in the heart of a major city, and I almost never think about the fact that nature wants to kill me. Everything I fear on a daily basis is to do with my own species, and not the plants and animals that I mostly observe for their adorability, not edibility. But in the …

Prior to the release of Only Human, the final entry in the Themis Files trilogy by Sylvain Neuvel, I did a little research. I wanted to see how many Sci-Fi titles include the word human. It seemed like there should be a fair few, since most SF is painstakingly concerned with the human condition, but …
