Much thanks to #Simon&Schuster for the ARC of If We Cannot Go at the Speed of Light by Kim Choyeop. Really looking forward to reading these Korean sci-fi stories. Releasing 4/28/26.

4/5⭐️. This story moves along quickly from beginning to end. The characters are beautifully written, and the MC is an excellent protagonist who is thrown into one demanding situation after another. thatbookisonfiyah.blogspot.com/2026/03/book...

4.75/5⭐️. If you have not read this series yet, I highly recommend it, and encourage you to read the first book in the trilogy, These Burning Stars – which won the Philip K. Dick Award a few years ago. See my full review: thatbookisonfiyah.blogspot.com/2026/03/book...

4.5/5 ⭐️. I appreciate the way that Taylor humanizes Bob and places him in a universe that resembles our own but is far more fascinating. He focuses on the positive traits that drive humans to create and sustain civilizations. See my full review: thatbookisonfiyah.blogspot.com/2026/02/book...

Book Review: The Blackfire Blade by James Logan 4/5 stars. I have to be honest. The first 1/3 was a real struggle for me. However, I wanted to push through this @NetGalley eARC and I am glad that I did. The last 2/3 of this story was excellent! See full review in pics.
