![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Having read Brey’s Aftelife Inc series, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. I started reading Chosen by Brey Willows during my four-hour return train journey from Bristol to West Yorkshire. When I was at ELLCon this summer, I exchanged books with two other authors at the event, and perhaps it was just serendipity that both fall into the dystopian genre. (When we’ve got intergalactic space travel underway, I want to visit Alsea.) I’ve now read all the books in the series, including the recently released seventh one, Resilience. The reboot of reading newer stories in these genres started a few years ago with Fletcher DeLancey’s marvelously envisioned world of Alsea starting with The Caphenon. I do have some much loved books on my shelves from the 1990s…Jean Stewart’s Isis series and the first two Aggar books by Chris Anne Wolfe which I reread occasionally. Rediscovering lesbian sci-fi and fantasy has been a fairly recent development in my reading habits. Then I moved on to stories by Isaac Asimov, J G Ballard, Brian Aldiss, William Gibson, Samuel R Delaney, and Ursula K LeGuin’s adult novels. My bookshelves are full of fantasy and science fiction novels…from my childhood days of traversing through Narnia, Middle Earth, and the Earthsea Archipelago. ![]()
