Review: The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa

If you keep them, they’re bound to bring you something in return.” The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa originally written in Japanese, first published in 1994, and translated by Stephen Snyder in 2019 is a book with a unique …

Review: Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard

Fireheart Tiger by Aliette De Bodard is a sapphic romantic high fantasy novella. But it’s also so much more than that. Adding to that, the cover of the book is exceptionally beautiful! Set in a Vietnam-esque world, our main character Thanh is the youngest princess of Bình Hải who was kept as a captive princess …

Review: Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour

Getting straight to the point, the cover is honestly what compelled me to pick up this book initially. It’s definitely a little funky in an urban way. So when I read the blurbs which said ‘for fans of The Wolf of Wall Street’, ‘satirical’, ‘cult-like and wildly successful startup’, I knew I had to give …

Review: Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley

“My girl, some boats are for the river and some are for the ocean. And there are some who can go anywhere because they always know the way home.” Firekeeper’s Daughter is a coming-of-age story about a geeky bad*** girl – Daunis. It’s one of the most amazing YA debut novels I’ve read in a …

Review and Author Interview: The Wall by Gautam Bhatia

“There is a world to discover, isn’t there?” Gautam Bhatia’s debut fictional novel is what I’d like to call a masterpiece in the making. A story of a walled city – Sumer – which knows nothing of the world beyond it and of curious minds who feel caged up inside. A story of revolution, of …

Review: Hidden in Plain Sight by Jeffrey Archer

“It would be their evidence that would decide the length of the sentences, not the courage of the foot soldiers.” Hidden in Plain Sight is the second instalment to the Detective William Warwick series and if I may say, it’s a damn good instalment. To give you some background, the first book in the series …
