Book Review: Angel Maker, by Elizabeth Bear

/

I greatly enjoyed Elizabeth Bear’s first Karen Memery novel, Karen Memory, when it was published in 2014, so when I saw that a new book, Angel Maker, had just been published, I played hooky from my “assigned” Skiffy and Fanty reading/reviewing list and checked it out from the Hoopla library app. Then I realized that this was actually #3, and checked out the intervening short novel Stone Mad from 2018, too. This turned out to be a very entertaining way to spend a couple of low-energy days while sick.

Book Review: Hole in the Sky, by Daniel H. Wilson

/

Hole in the Sky, by Daniel H. Wilson, is an entertaining, pleasantly eerie, and occasionally scary adventure novel told from four perspectives about what is initially treated as first contact science fiction but is also connected with cosmic horror, and reawakening mythology. It may encourage readers to think a little more about different perspectives, and connecting with others, and even the nature of reality, but mostly it’s a fun page-turner (288 pages, slated for release Oct. 7).
