I’ve heard Space Opera called “the high fantasy of science fiction,” and that’s a pretty accurate description. Space Operas focus on political drama and epic-scope narratives. They generally take place in space on a galactic scale, usually with empires or political entities controlling worlds.
Below you can find my latest posts related to the Space Opera subgenre. Read on if you love Star Wars or Dune, and want to find more books like these classics!
You guys, I had such a hard time finding a good book to read this past week. All I had time for was a novella, and all I wanted was a decent romance with complete sentences and a plot. You’d think those requirements would be easy enough to meet, but for some reason, every book … Read more
Note: This Interview was Originally Featured on SFF Insiders on October 2nd, 2024. Author Interviews are quickly becoming my new favourite feature of this blog! It’s been so much fun getting to “meet” authors in my genre and find out about their books and publishing journeys. I was extra excited when I had the chance … Read more
Yesterday was National Truth and Reconciliation Day here in Canada, a day where we take time to remember the horrible practice of stealing indigenous children from their families and placing them in residential schools, where many died without ever seeing their families again. Mass graves have been found at some of these sites, and the … Read more
You guys, I needed this book this week! Stress was bubbling over in our house with our back-to-school schedule stuffed with activities and everyone’s anxiety running high, and then Covid hit. We had to cancel all our fun weekend plans, including my birthday costume party. I was stressed and disappointed, but Eclipse the Moon by … Read more
I know they say “don’t judge a book by it’s cover,” but honestly, one look at the cover of Pirate Nemesis told me everything I needed to know. I could tell this book would be bursting with space battles, pirates, cool telepathy-based superpowers, and most importantly, that it would centre around a female main character … Read more

Romance will always be my go-to, but sometimes it’s nice to take a break from romantic love to enjoy a good friendship story. And as friendship stories go, The Stardust Grail is top calibre. This novel about best friends on a high-stakes treasure hunt will push you to joyous highs and heart wrenching lows that … Read more
I was looking for books with female cyborgs to compare to Starlight, and I ran across this gem of a book. Maybe more like a grenade of a book, actually. Pippa DaCosta’s Betrayal blasts you straight into the action and doesn’t stop–my favourite kind of sci-fi. Betrayal is a dual POV story written alternately from … Read more
So, it’s taken me a couple of weeks to finish this one because it’s longer than my usual reads. (Don’t get me wrong, Heavenbreaker’s no Sanderson brick, but the audiobook is fifteen hours and I generally go for twelve and under. Longer books take longer to build, and, what can I say, I’m impatient!) Heavenbreaker … Read more
