Tier Ranking the 15 science fiction books I read during April 2025

It's a fun read. It moved along briskly and Chimal as a protagonist was easy to root for.

I really enjoyed it actually more than I thought I would. I give Day World 7 out of 10.

I didn't love it at all. I'm not sure if it was Jamie Bell's narration that was just a bit unengaging or if the romantic flowery language of the time just annoyed me.

Becket spends quite a lot of time musing over the multiverse concept... I found that really interesting. I give March an 8 out of 10.

For the most part, I think that Jacobs avoids the pitfalls of a second book of three. There's enough story and enough things happening in this one to make it interesting.

I loved it. I give pav 9 out of 10.

It's only my second novel that I read of his quarantine being the other one and I found that was just about manageable on the difficulty stakes.

I found it borderline incomprehensible for much of the time, at least as far as the physics were concerned. My eyes frequently glazed over and it felt too much like homework for much of the book.

I must say I did find Avan Vot's writing style a little bit dry in this book and as a result I never found that I really got engaged with the story or the characters.

I had fun and aimed as it is at younger readers is not a challenging read and I blew through it pretty quickly.

I really enjoyed this puzzle box of a book. I give the carpet makers 8 out of 10.

I enjoyed George's journey in the book. With almost no agency at the start of the book, he gradually becomes an island of calm...

For what is a short book, Dave Hutchinson does, I think, some intricate stuff. He explores the issue presented by the continued developments in FTL drives.

Overall, I was underwhelmed. I gave The Avatar 5 out of 10.

The first part being These Burning Stars, which I read a month or two back and really, really enjoyed.

I thought the writing was pretty good if a bit pulpy and silly. Overall, I give Triple Dayton 6 out of 10.

I like the dynamic between Johnny and Braar, their relationship founded on deceit, but ultimately worth more than that by the end of the book. And I thought that the illusions were really done well.
