Adam Heine, 2016
(November 2016)
Reviewed over at Strange Horizons. Robots and ronin. Solid action, but not much else.

Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life
(March 2017)
I am, once more, rendered incoherent by Li's
writing. I genuinely can't fathom how anyone is capable of producing anything
simultaneously so precise yet so supple, so pitiless yet so profoundly humane.
Just extraordinary.

Viriconium
(March 2017)
A full compendium of M. John Harrison’s
Viriconium stories, originally published separately (as three short novels and
a short story collection) between 1971 and 1985. I’ve previously written about how
superb Harrison is as a stylist, and while that’s clearly evident here, I also
suspect that reading all these stories together like this didn’t really do them
many favours.

The Stars Are Legion
(February 2017)
Very
good, very meaty (figuratively and literally), but I also read this with an
increasing sense of déjà vu.

The Wolf Border
(February
2017)
A
wonderfully written book, this, but one that took me far too long to read.

Norse Mythology
(February 2017)
Asgard reimagined as the prototypical frat
house. Which is not such a departure from the source material, to be honest.
