 Although I've been reading this genre all my life, it wasn't until recently that I heard the term "science fantasy," which is the mashup of science fiction and fantasy. So think magic and machines, unicorns and space ships. It can be a lot of fun to cross the boundary that separates the two, since I feel that science and magic should, actually, be similar. Just like science follows rules, magic should have rules, too. I'm not a big fan of: "And then there was magic, so it solved everything!" Nope. Not for me.
But I digress. If you want to take a look at a fun new science fantasy mashup, turn to Skin by K.A. Krake. Although it's the fourth book in the series, I didn't feel like I was deprived by jumping right in. You can read a full review of it here at Bewildering Stories. I hope you enjoy reading Ms. Krake's impressive world building as much as I did. Comments are closed.
