Rated The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution 10/10

This book is fantastic; a lucid and well thought out look at Darwinian evolution. I was lacking a little in biology knowledge going in, but am now lacking a little less.

Rated A Psalm for the Wild-Built 10/10

An absolute gem of a book. I'm astonished at how much depth of character and world building can be done in such a short story. Truly fantastic.

Rated A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil 10/10

Rated Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality 6/10

It was... ok. I don't read a lot about sexuality & gender, so found much of the book interesting, at times illuminating, and in parts very relevant and relatable. However, I was disappointed by the author's volte-face on her assertion at the outset that it wasn't going to be about the salacious lives of highly sexualised stereotypes when a gleeful chapter about exactly that turned up towards the end.

Rated Ancillary Justice 8/10

Good sci-fi. Deserved award winner.

Rated Assassin's Quest 8/10

Rated Ancillary Sword 10/10

Rated Auberon 8/10

I love these little excursions into the Expanse universe. They do a great job of filing in the blanks behind the main novels and tying up loose ends, and Auberon is no exception.

Rated Before They Are Hanged 8/10
