„The future American Southwest is full of bandits, fascists, and queer librarian spies on horseback trying to do the right thing.“ Yeah … who could resist such a tagline? Well, I sure couldn’t and I’m absolutely glad I didn’t, because this turned out amazing! Sarah Gailey’s novella „Upright Women Wanted“ tells the story of Esther […]

Space Gays against the Patriarchy: Hannah Templer’s Cosmoknights
In the world of „Cosmoknights“ by Hannah Templer princesses are commodities to be won by champion-gladiator-knights fighting in the arena. Unfortunately this is also where the one problem I had with this comic book becomes obvious: The lack of lore and backstory. How does this work? Why do they do this? The story is set […]

More Magic in Edwardian Non-England: CL Polk’s Stormsong
After finishing CL Polk’s first novel, „Witchmark“, I was super excited for its sequel „Stormsong“. The second novel in „The Kingston Cycle“ features a female protagonist, Grace Singer, sister to Miles, whose love story was the centre of the first novel. Now, however, it is Grace’s time to shine and shine she does. I liked […]

Mord und Magie in Edwardian Non-England: Witchmark von CL Polk
So, ich habe Witchmark jetzt direkt mehrfach gelesen: Erst auf Englisch, dann auf Deutsch und zum Abschluss habe ich nochmal beide nebeneinander quergelesen, weil es doch schon etwas her war und ich meine Erinnerungen nochmal auffrischen wollte.

Carry on, Simon Snow … Rainbow Rowell’s Wayward Son
Okay, this just wasn’t what I expected. I actually kinda liked Rainbow Rowell’s “Carry On”. It read like a pretty bad Harry Potter fanfic but it didn’t take itself very seriously and was fun and fluffy and utterly trashy while playing with all the elements that made it so bad, which somehow made it almost good again. I expected more of that utter ridiculousness in “Wayward Son”

Matriarchy in Space: „Escaping Exodus“ by Nicky Drayden
I picked up Nicky Drayden’s novel “Escaping Exodus” for three reasons: The stunning cover, the fact that I adore space stuff like living ships, and because #WirLesenFrauen inspired me to add more (B)WoC to my reading list.

Adventures in New Atlantis: The Last Sun and The Hanged Man by KD Edwards
I’ve been meaning to write a raving review about KD Edwards’ “The Last Sun” ever since I read the Urban Fantasy novel last year. Now the sequel “The Hanged Man” is about to be released and I got to read and eARC, so what better time to write this long overdue review than right now?!

Jack and Jill are back in Seanan McGuire’s 5th Wayward Children novella, „Come Tumbling Down“
Aaaaah, Jack and Jill return! Well, Jack returns, or rather is returned, to Eleanor West’s School for Wayward Children, which means Seanan McGuire continues the pattern of previous Wayward Children Novellas: “Come Tumbling Down” is a direct sequel to “Beneath the Sugar Sky”, while also expanding on Jack and Jill’s personal story.

Cooney, C.S.E.: Desdemona and the Deep
I loved the world C.S.E. Cooney created here. The goblins, the fairies, everything was so well done. However, the misgendering of a trans character left me with a bad feeling.

Chambers, Becky: To Be Taught If Fortunate
Ah, Becky Chambers 🧡 Große SciFi-Liebe. Ihre „Wayfarers“ Romane gehören zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsbüchern und sind so ziemlich der Hauptgrund dafür, dass ich SciFi und Space Operas mittlerweile so sehr liebe. Dementsprechend habe ich mich auch gefreut, als ich gesehen habe, dass vor ihren as of yet untitled Solarpunk Novellas in 2020/2021 noch eine Novelle […]

Queer Arthurian Legend in Space: Once & Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy
This was … This was not as awesome as it could have been. I mean, it was awesome, kind of, and I’m really looking forward to the sequel, but in parts it was also decidedly not awesome. Yeah, super helpful, I know. So, let’s get into this in greater detail:

Berry, T.J.: Five Unicorn Flush
Mit „Five Unicorn Flush“ setzt TJ Berry ihre Reihe rund um das Halbeinhorn Gary Cobalt und die Kapitänin Jenny Perata. Dabei ist die Fortsetzung genauso weird und amazing wie „Space Unicorn Blues“ – was anderes wäre auch seltsam bei einer Geschichte, in der Einhörner im Weltall unterwegs sind.
