What have I read this week?
Apologies for putting this up late; I’ve been ill.
Aftershocks (The Palladium Wars Book 1) by Marko Kloos
This is a science fiction novel set after the end of an interplanetary war. It follows several characters from both sides of the war. I enjoyed this. I liked the characters and the world. I’d probably read more in this series.
The Book of the New Sun Vol. 2: Sword & Citadel by Gene Wolfe
This is two science fiction novels set in the far future, The Sword of the Lictor and The Citadel of the Autarch. They follow the further adventures of Severian. I still didn’t really enjoy these; I was mainly reading them for completeness having read volume 1.
Pale Guardian by Barbara Hambly
This is a vampire novel set during WWI. It follows James and Lydia Asher, a married couple. Lydia is working as as a radiographer at the front and James is back in England recovering from an illness. It didn’t really grab me; I’m not sure why. I think I liked the idea of it more than the reality, and I didn’t finish it.
