4 stars
A good bibliography of science fiction.
Quite gripping, but I can’t place my finger on why.

Seeking refuge in fantasy novel worlds throughout a youth under the shadow of a dubiously sane half-brother who dabbled in magic, Mori Phelps is forced to confront her mother in a tragic battle and gains unwanted attention when she attempts to perform spells herself.
A good bibliography of science fiction.
Quite gripping, but I can’t place my finger on why.
Painful, because it's so familiar, and beautiful. One of those books that's so full of books itself that all you want to do when done is read some more. I think I've written a list based on Mori's reading.
