Book Review: ALIF THE UNSEEN by G. Willow Wilson
October 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment
If there is a better book than Alif The Unseen by G. Willow Wilson that showcases the nebulous nature of genre definitions and the trend towards the mélange of tropes so prevalent these days in genre fiction, then I can’t think of it. Mixing fantasy, mythology, cyberpunk and techno-thriller devices, Wilson has sculpted a world […]

My first experience reading James Smythe was discovering his novel, The Explorer, a book which became my Top 3 read of 2012. It hooked me from the first sentence and gave me a story that was never boring, creating strong empathy for the main character’s plight in a fast-paced adventure through time and space, literally. […]

That human detritus makes a surprising recovery regardless of whatever dystopian wasteland they inhabit. In Three, by Jay Posey, it’s the world before its fall that draws the reader in […]
