Reviews and Comments

This book was a delight for me to read. I spent three years of my youth in High Prairie, so the off-hand mentions of once-familiar places (like the bridge over the river at Grouard, and the native friendship centre) brought back old memories. Apart from that, this is just an enjoyable reading, dipping into Cree mythology and weaving a story that is engaging and exciting.

There is very good advice in this book. I have changed my writing because of it.

A heartwarming story of second chances and self discovery

In a possibly too realistic portrait of the future that awaits us, Cory Doctorow somehow manages to create the possibility of hope. I'm glad I read this. Now I just need to build my affinity group.

Solnit is witty and sharp. The essays in this piece approach white North American culture from a variety of directions, but always with strong analysis of the patriarchal patterns that support violence and subjugation, and ending with a twist towards the hope that never left the box. It's an excellent read.

A fun blending of feminist commentary, science fiction, and fantasy. I've added book two to my wishlist!

This is one that I'll have to come back to, in order to actually spend some time with the meditations. Might work better as an audiobook, however, as the meditations usually begin with "close your eyes", which makes it hard to continue reading!

Enthralling read. Left me wondering what would happen right through to the end. Unputdownable from about 60% in...

This book provides an in-depth overview of the challenge bias presents, and the many social impacts that it creates. While there isn't any "quick-fix", the author presents a variety of personal, social, and structural changes that we can undertake to reduce and maybe even eliminate bias from our systems.

Fun read, though I can see that the Callanach series are becoming a bit formulaic.

Lots of twists and turns. Kept me engaged through to the very end.

Interesting and fun, with lots of flashback material for us 80's kids. Maybe not quite as immersive as book one. Also... flashbacks to my theology and the new physics class at St. Stephen's College, and having to read "The Physics of Immortality".

An enthralling read. I was pulled into her story, and was ready for the next chapter as it ended. This is a modern and feminist take on the origin story of Morgan Le Fay. If you have any interest in the Arthurian legend, this is well worth the time.
