Thank you to Orbit Books for sending me a finished copy of this for review! This does not affect my review, all thoughts here are my own honest opinions.

Okay the fact that this book only has 1014 ratings and 248 reviews on Goodreads is a CRIME!!! A crime I tell you! Because this book whips ass. It’s an incredible start to a sci-fi trilogy that has elements of horror (in a creepy, survival way, not a scary way) and dystopian fiction (in a corporations controlling society way). It starts off with a bang and doesn’t let up the whole time. Also, the casual queerness is a wonderful thing to see!

Thank you so much to Aliette and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC for review. This has not influenced my opinion, all thoughts are my own.

I meant to post this review back in November, closer to the book’s release date. But you know, life happens, and here we are in March and I’m just now posting it!! Ah well. When it comes to books, you can never be late to the party so it doesn’t matter that it’s months after the release. So anyway, yes, today I am (finally) talking about The Red Scholar’s Wake by Aliette de Bodard, which released November 24th 2022.

This book has the most unreliable narrator I’ve read and I’m here for it. There’s something about a narrator telling you she’s lying but you still end up shocked at certain turns of events. Now that’s some storytelling!

I’ve been in a weird place so book reviews have been hard for me BUT!! I’m back with a review of The Circus Infinite. Because it’s my stop on the book tour! I’ve also got a post up on Instagram about it today. Thank you Angry Robot Books for the review copy and for including me on this book tour!
