“As a genre, science-fantasy is often as basic as it sounds: People with swords meet people with lasers,” says reviewer Jason Heller. “(In some cases, like Star Wars, the swords and lasers are even the same thing.) But there’s so much more potential in the overlap between science fiction and fantasy, a fact that’s not lost on Charlie Jane Anders.
The editor-in-chief of Gawker’s popular geek-culture website io9, Anders has been writing with passion and insight about science fiction and fantasy for years — so it only makes sense that in her debut novel for adults, All the Birds in the Sky, she’s melded the two genres in a way that opens a profound, poetic new perspective on each.”Having ripped through All the Birds while snowbound this weekend, I can say you should definitely check it out – and see the rest of Jason’s review here.

Still completely gobsmacked about this.
