I’ve never been the biggest fan of hard science fiction, mainly because I like fiction that’s heavily character-driven, and a lot of hard SF seems to sacrifice character for science. I had that problem with Aurora to a point, though I did think some of the characters were far more well… Read more »
Holy amazing book, Batman. I absolutely loved Cinder. It’s a science-fictiony retooling of Cinderella, complete with a downtrodden cyborg, a terrible plague, a handsome prince, and an evil queen from the Moon.

Pretty much everything about this book came together wonderfully. The world itself, a future Earth that has been shaped by… Read more »
