Book Review: Metal from Heaven by August Clarke

/

It starts off as a novel interested in worker’s rights…and changes into a novel about anarchy and communes with the equivalent of a pirate town, as we watch Marney grow into who and what she is. It’s a novel that explores Marney’s power and disability, her toxic ability to manipulate Ichorite, that both poisons her and yet is also malleable to her magical power. 

Cover of One Level Down by Mary G. Thompson, featuring a stack of cubes with clouds and skies on some sides and circuitry on others, with a little blond girl walking on one of the lower levels.

Book Review: One Level Down, by Mary G. Thompson

I found the focused self-control and resilience of the protagonist inspiring, and I was rewarded with a very satisfying conclusion. This is a novella with a compelling character and some really interesting ideas, and I will definitely be looking for more from Thompson.
