Excellent read (I read it as a judge for SPSFC3) though I haven't read the re-edited version.

Last week I read The Hound of Greyvor (sequel to Children of the Black; a semi finalist in #SPSFC3) by @wjlongiii.bsky.social. I've updated my GR review. I've had Greyvor headworm.

Some EXTREMELY late reviews for #SPSFC3 / #SPSFC

These books deserve more, but my time management skills are not up to the task, so, I'm getting out short reviews now instead of never.

Kenai, Three Grams of Elsewhere, and Wixon's Day are all worth a look.

Catch-up SPSFC Reviews – Three Grams of Elsewhere, Wixon’s Day & Kenai
These are sort of rushed catch-up reviews for the novels I was reading/judging during SPSFC #3By rights, these books deserve deeper contemplation and commentary than this – but my time manage…

Another great book in the @endalia.bsky.social #IndieSale is Kill Switch by Tim Hawken. I had great fun reading this cyberpunk thriller for SPSFC3. Exciting, imaginative, and thoughtful.

“The Hand of God” by Yuval Kordov was a semi finalist in SPSFC3. I read it last year for the competition. I loved its post-apocalyptic setting, giant mech, and AI cults. It’s part of the @endalia.bsky.social #IndieSale!

Need a break after a solid year of reading approx 150 #selfpublished Fantasy & Sci-fi in the brilliant #SPFBO9 & #SPSFC3 contests so I'm diving into a fave author of supernatural thrillers. John Connolly has my ultimate favourite M/M killer couple in fiction

Rarely meet my international Internet friends - 2 of the #SPSFC3 judges, fellow teammates in #spacegirls got to meet in Wellington, New Zealand. One from Mexico, one a native of Aotearoa.

Good Sunday Eve Womble from Aotearoa NZ - Today I reread Grass by Sherri S Tepper, still holds up well and more relevant today than it was almost 30 years ago & tonight I'm reading The Hand of God by Yuval Kordov for SPSFC3

First reading of the year done! And it was a SPSFC3 book! Adventure, fast-paced, with amazing characters (especially the droids!). Team Baxter! What is your first book of the year?

SPSFC3 Science Fiction indie author mini review #15:

Star Language by Charon Dunn

This book is a straight-up TRIP. It tells you on the first page that it’s going to end kind of poorly, and I was still sitting there the whole time hoping for good things for the protagonist.

The Crossing by Laurie Janey

“Somewhere deep in the forest lay a valuable corpse, and it was Berro’s job to find it.”

What an absolute banger of a first line.

Kenai by Dave Dobson

MC is an ex-military security guard on an exoplanet archeological dig. It should be a pretty boring job, but some things aren't going as expected.

Replacement by Jordan Rivet

Set in a future where 10% of the population are purpose-bred clones commissioned by corporations to fulfill specific jobs, our protagonist is a “leftover” clone who doesn’t know why she was born.
