WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn a New Page

 


Today's adult patron book reviews focus on science fiction and fantasy. If you're new to the genres, read these reviews to figure out what kind of story you want to start with. If you like to discuss science fiction, try our Science Fiction Book ClubWPL's Science Fiction Book Club has been meeting since 2018. They love to talk about spaceships, aliens, first contact, artificial intelligence, and alternate history. Remember to log the books you've read for the WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn a New Page. It's a great way to keep track of what you've read, and you can also write reviews that will help other readers decide on what to read next. 


Containment by Christian Cantrell

Science fiction readers often classify SF books as "hard SF" or "social SF" or "science fantasy". "Containment" is *very* hard science fiction, and I think it would appeal to engineers, computer folks, and fans of stories about planetary colonization. ~ Melody F. 


3/5 stars. Black Sun had interesting characters, and great fantasy world building. The chapters alternate in different point of views of the main cast, with everything weaving together in the end to tell the tale of a young man’s journey to his final destiny. My criticism with the book though was that there was no major source of conflict. This story is an excellent example of how reading about the journey is better than the ending and I would recommend it to dark fantasy fans. ~ Yucheng Z. 


Vox by Christina Dalcher

I enjoyed this book! Reminded me of The Handmaid's Tale. ~Carolyn D.

A short fantasy book about living practically and pragmatically as a princess and subverting traditional roles for girls. ~ Eun Sol L.
