Women in SFF ’23 – WRAP UP Week 3
Welcome once more to Women in SFF!
We are back for our fourth year celebrating and giving a platform to women in the SFF genres, and now we’ve reached the end of our third week
Each week, we’ll try and round up all this wonderful content into one summary-wrap-up post – if we’ve missed you, please comment and link below! We’d love to see the ways you’re taking part.
So, what have you all been up to…?
Reviews
Over on Instagram,
Neelam reviewed The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem:
The last few chapters of the book were action packed and had me on the edge of my seat and the revelations at the end? Well I absolutely need the sequel asap!
SahiBookNerd reviewed The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan
this book is very impressive, the world the author creates very familiar and scary and prescient, and a uniquely structured tale that is easy to read & hard to put down
