Review: THE FOLDED SKY by Elizabeth Bear

Review: THE FOLDED SKY by Elizabeth Bear

Reactor: Holy shit, what a book. I’ve been waiting with unalloyed anticipation for Elizabeth Bear’s next White Space novel since 2020’s Machine. That novel is The Folded Sky.

Review: DAEDALUS IS DEAD by Seamus Sullivan

Publishers Weekly: Sullivan’s lovely debut puts an inventive spin on Greek myth. Master inventor Daedalus and his son, Icarus, attempt to escape imprisonment by the cruel King Minos using man-made wings. The plan ends disastrously when Icarus ignores his father’s warnings and flies too close to the sun, melting the wax attaching the feathers to the wings, and causing him to plummet to his death in the sea (“You fall in silence, as if the gods are waiting for the […]
