I made this wizard tower in blender for my game. I’m happy with how it fits into the atmosphere of the world around it

New month, new reading plan. What are my fellow book punks reading?
I’ve got Mordew, The Witchwood Crown, Babel, and Alien Clay up next

I ended Feb with a bang. Wayward Galaxy is very ‘explody space marine’ with just enough humor. The plot moved well, it was easy to read and understand, still managed to pose a question while being adventurous. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ll read more of it.

The Terror was a strange isolation horror. It abandons that near the end without resolution. I guess I didn’t really get what this book has to say. It was entertaining and flowed incredibly for its length. It was bizarrely sexual at times and unkind to women in the story. The horror itself was good

Infomacracy was timely. It’s a forward projection of current social political landscape. When bad gets worse plus cyberpunk gives you, this book. At some point the commentary came at the detriment of character and plot. I did like it in broad strokes

I struggle with old Sci-Fi. I was able to appreciate The Simulacra for what it influenced in modern sci-fi. If I had read this when it came out, I would have been blown away by the concept and twist. It would have made a great Twilight Zone episode

Survive The Night was fun. It felt like a pop-fic horror. The nostalgia pandering took me out a few times but it kept all whiplash of a murder mystery. I could tell it was trying hard to be picked up for a live action adaptation. The result was entertainment.

Piranesi filled a ‘magical realism’ shaped hole in my library. It did it well and with kindness. It’s a lovely little fantasy and it has heart as well as intrigue. I also loved the liminal maze and would recommend this to any reader

Briardark was my least favorite read this month. It was the writing style and characters that turned me off. Lots of bickering, bitterness as a main flavor. I forgot it was a horror with all the writers catharsis

Decoding The Heavens was my favorite read this month. It’s a non-fiction about discovering an ancient computer and everything that went into understanding what it did. This is an obvious read for anyone

Another great month of mostly enjoyable reads. My thoughts on each read are in the thread :]

I wrote some dungeon synth music and composed a vocal melody just for Melissa to sing. While she recorded it, I heard some majestic chittering outside. Look who came to sing along to our music!

City of Last Chances is similar to giving up juice drinks for real fruit. Once your palette adjusts, it’s written fantastically. It has believable conflict, reasonable course of action + a plot that satisfies. Great commentary on censorship and class. How British! 3.75/5

Not originally on my 2025 book list, Fourth Wing was written for a target audience I’m not in. My friends loved it and because I can’t do them dirty, I’ll skip my review here. Entertaining, but not for me 1.75/5

Book 2 in a breakneck cyberpunk series with no mercy. Crux is posthuman and constantly brutal. It’s full of hard content, and revolves around a drug in the underbelly of a distopian world suffering and benefiting from it. It’s hard to recommend because of the CWs but its well written. 3.75/5

Red Mars was not for me. I know it’s won awards but I could not appreciate it. I think what this book did in 600 pages, The Martian Chronicles did faster and better. Each character felt like the author in different skin and the plot started on page 540. 2.5/5

I regret… Not continuing this series sooner, Holy hell! I know people put this series off since the books are thic, but there was not a single wasted page. The plot was lean and tightly spun and the characters were dynamic and it’s 100% sci-fi momentum. Space pirates, planetary turmoil 4.75/5

I went into this read blind but it was saddening. It let me sit in the head of a group of drug addicted characters who don’t have a heading, a plot or any gripable motivations. It was a hard read to appreciate until I looked into where PKD often gets inspiration. It did touch my heart 3.5/5

This won’t be for everyone. It’s a well written liminal horror. Everything feels slightly off but it’s intentional. Don’t confuse it for not being fleshed out, the point of liminality is the uncanny nuance of being out of place. If you can set your expectations, you can enjoy this book. 3.75/5

An action packed cyberpunk good time. The Electric Church is set in a world of criminals and zealots. The gritty details kept atmosphere and tone and I found myself rooting for absolute scoundrels, often on pins and needles. It was an easy read despite the techno concepts. 3.75/5

There’s a lot to chew in Death’s End. The conceptual fiction kept my imagination engaged the whole time and so did the vision of the future. While there was nearly no character development, it felt like an historical account of the future. It was a satisfying concussion to a great trilogy 4/5
