Diving into this highly anticipated read today!
Thanks Orbit Books for the ARC!
Finished OATHS OF LEGACY, book two in a YA sci-fi trilogy about two guys raised on opposite sides of an empire/rebellion conflict who fall in love and have to navigate conflicting loyalties.
Plenty of space battles, a splash of politics, and some romance on the side. 4/5⭐️
"Although it takes a bit to get going, THE LOTUS EMPIRE is the properly epic and thrilling conclusion to THE BURNING KINGDOMS trilogy."
Thanks to Orbit Books for the free review copy!

Ooo, good to know!
Graphic titled The Right Reader for: THE INFINITE STATE featuring the book cover of The Infinite State by Richard Swan centered on a gray textured background. The cover shows a stylized gold and red eagle over a starry black sky, with the subtitle “The Decurion Saga — Book 1.” Below, a comparison row highlights similar reads and themes: • 1984 by George Orwell — “A dystopian future with lush worldbuilding” • The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi — “A thrilling tale of survival” • The Expanse — “An eviscerating examination of totalitarianism” • Red Rising by Pierce Brown — “An ember of hope in the long shadow of oppression” • The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei — “A sci-fi that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish” • A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine — “A galaxy-spanning empire with high-stakes space politics” Tor logo appears in the bottom right corner.
Are you the right reader for THE INFINITE STATE? 👀
This blistering sci-fi epic begins at a flashpoint in the lives of a widowed party member, a disgraced investigator, and a hypersled pilot—entangled in a plot to escape the suffocating authority of a fascist state.
Out on 8/4 🚀
I feel this in my soul.

My NetGalley shelf is STACKED.
Indoctrination is a powerful thing!
THE REPUBLIC OF MEMORY is an engrossing tale of a ship in crisis that also digs into some juicy existential questions.
Thanks @sagapressbooks.bsky.social for the ARC!

It's been a sec since I did a reading round-up, so I have a WHOLE bunch of things to talk about! I've finished THE BURNING KINGDOMS trilogy, am possibly burning out on the TEMERAIRE books, am currently captivated by STEEL GODS by Richard Swan, and more!
Same! Now to remind myself what happened in the first one. 😂
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me was so good! It's the only one of the stack I've read so far.
Hard to go wrong with Katherine Arden!
I'm torn between that and The Faith of Beasts, but I think The Last Contract is going to win by a nose!
A silver dragon statue sits atop a pile of ARCs and finished copies from publishers. In the stack is: Sea of Charms by Sarah Beth Durst Among the Thorns by Jennifer K Lambert The Last Contract of Isako by Fonda Lee The Faith of Beasts by James SA Corey The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
The ARC gods have been extremely generous lately! Where would you start in this stack?
I started a game on the complete opposite side of the spectrum over the weekend: Cyberpunk 2077. And it is good but my god my in-game phone won't stop ringing with people hitting me up with things to do. 😂

New bookmail! Thank you so much Orbit Books for this ARC of THE FAITH OF MEMORY by James SA Corey!
Hahaha, glad Pokopia is keeping you busy! It looks like an absolutely adorable game.
Oh I'm excited for you, that is SUCH a good series.

Year of the Mer – ARC Review
Hello, everyone! Today I'm reviewing Year of the Mer by L. D. Lewis, a new sapphic fantasy retelling inspired by the events of The Little Mermaid. Read on to find out all of my thoughts!
I was definitely not expecting the level of plot or emotion Nine Sols would bring. Really well done.
Omg, that makes me so happy to hear!
"THE FAKE DIVINATION OFFENSE is another lovely story of love, healing, and acceptance from Sara Raasch."
Thanks to Bramble Romance for the ARC!
Olivie Blake didn't write Fourth Wing, that was Rebecca Yarros. 🙂
New Murderbot will be worth the wait!
I had a pretty awesome reading month in March!
