Binary System Podcast #396 – Lore Olympus episode 262 and 263, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, and The Oscar Nominations

Episodes 262 and 263 feature a Persephone who’s dealing with the uncomfortable reality that the Mortal Realm is dying and it may possibly be all her fault. But for the Binary System Podcast team, that calamity pales in comparison to the fact that Apollo is being a gigantic jerk and it’s stressing us out. The

Review: Saint Death’s Daughter

I’ve run though my list of Books I Got For Christmas, so the next list I need to tackle is Books I Should Have Read Ages Ago. We’ll start with C.S.E. Cooney’s utterly delightful novel from 2022, Saint Death’s Daughter. The novel opens with a letter from our central character, Miscellaneous Immiscible Stones (the names

Binary System Podcast #394 – Lore Olympus episode 259 and 260 and The Menu

It’s an extra-long episode this week, although not because of Lore Olympus. The recap for episodes 259 and 260 went pretty quickly, with a little more of Demeter’s backstory revealed and one hell of a lot of personal growth. Seriously, we figured Rachel included the bit with Demeter snapping at Hera because otherwise we wouldn’t

Review: The Nice House On The Lake – The Deluxe Edition

“How do you think the world will end?” The next book in my “reviews for graphic novels Elizabeth got me for Christmas” series is the deluxe hardback edition of The Nice House On The Lake, and it’s little more recent than the one from my last review. And also darker. Not just darker than the

Review: Lazarus Volume One – Family

I’m just a little bit late getting to the Lazarus series (this graphic novel was first published more than a decade ago). However, ’tis the season to read the books we got as Christmas presents, and I have Elizabeth to thank for introducing me to this fascinating dystopian near-future saga and the kick-ass title character

Review: Bookshops and Bonedust (Legends and Lattes)

“Every book is a little mirror, and sometimes you look into it and see someone else looking back.” It’s the last review of 2023! Considering the many ways this has been a stressful few months, I think we all need something comfy and whimsical to finish up the year, don’t you? Travis Baldree’s second novel

Review: He Who Drowned the World (The Radiant Emperor Duology Book 2)

There’s still time for at least one more book from 2023 before the end of the year, especially if it’s something that might be nominated for next year’s Hugo Awards. Shelley Parker-Chan’s duology set in alternate-history China will work nicely; I wouldn’t have thought it was possible, but the sequel to She Who Became The
