SFF Reviews - Science Fiction and Fantasy

  Review of Inspector 36 by Kristin Hooker (1103 words) Luna Station Quarterly, Issue 045: Purchase or Read Online     A clever, unsettling tale that brings to life 'robots are taking our jobs!'. They are, and they're better at it than humans. Can't distract a robot from work, can you? And in a world where it's common and accepted to have robots do the work, you're the odd one out for making an effort to do things personally. One of those stories that remind you about how perspectives and accepted social behavior can mutate so easily.   Support us on Ko-fi -  https://ko-fi.com/ohjustbooks

Review of A Recipe for Trouble by Aimee Ogden (1971 words) Luna Station Quarterly, Issue 047: Purchase or Read Online This type of story is one of my favorite "types", if I can even categorize it. You could possibly call it magical realism, maybe. I want to read all the stories possible that have this type of world building and magic system. A wonderful tale about a cookbook and it's hidden secrets. Leah was such a real, fiery character. I enjoyed the short vignettes as part of an overarching mild story. I also loved the undercurrent of sadness and longing, rebellion and conformity.    Support us on Ko-fi -  https://ko-fi.com/ohjustbooks
