Book Review: Guns of the Dawn

It was in 2018 that I bought Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky…back when the Big Bad Wolf visited the City where I was currently working. And I picked it because the whole cover spoke of this steampunk aura, a genre that I have come to love as I journeyed through my reading career. Guns of the Dawn would be my first Adrian Tchaikovsky and it was a pleasant surprise despite me having to put it down numerous times.

Although it’s obvious that he recycled some stuff from his previous books, The Hammer of Thor and The Sword of Summer were still enjoyable reads that I breezed through them in a very short amount of time. I finished this book in a day while doing household chores and the usual fix…

Book Review: A Red Peace

Unsettling at first but once you get used to all the jargons used in this book, you’ll find yourself having a hard time in putting it down. The basic premise is that the age of humans is coming to an end when the crosses (term for human/alien hybrids) that they’ve made—through vat culture—rallied together and started a resistance . Our female protagonist, Jaqi, who is a cross herself wanted nothing to do with the war and had spent her life in hiding and doing shady stuff. But just like the girl of destiny, she suddenly found herself in the thick…
