Shadow Scale, Rachel Hartman’s sequel to 2012’s Seraphina, was released months ago and I’m kicking myself for not reading it sooner.

Matt Ryan hits the ground running with his debut novel Rise of the Six, first book in The Preston Six series. Joey Foust and his five friends always knew there was something their parents aren’t telling them. How were all six of them born on the exact same day? What happened in the unexplained fire that

Ye opened the resulting document, and, for the first time, a human read a message from another world. The content was not what anyone had imagined. It was a warning repeated three times. Do not answer! Do not answer!! Do not answer!!! The term “Hard Science Fiction” refers to any story where the science used
