Sci-Fi/Fantasy by Women Book Group

Welcome to the 'Strange Worlds Society'!

Meeting on the last Thursday of every month, the 'Strange Worlds Society' will celebrate science fiction and fantasy books by women.

This book group is dedicated to exploring the strange and wonderful worlds created by women in sci-fi and fantasy. We'll be looking at what these amazing authors can do in less than 500 pages! You should come along if you're interested in finding a brilliant new favourite author, or book series, or like-minded sci-fi/fantasy fans to chat with. We'll be discussing the merits of the books, their world-building, and their significance. How does the sci-fi compare to the fantasy? Only time will tell!

This group is hosted by Amy, one of our resident Sci-Fi/Fantasy enthusiasts.

Our Book for November is: Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard

SAVE THE WORLD OR END IT . . .

Even pirate's daughter Corayne an-Amarat can feel something is seriously wrong with the world, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea.

Then fate knocks on her door in the form of an immortal warrior and a lethal assassin, who tell her she is the last of an ancient bloodline with a secret power singing in her veins.

They also tell her that a vengeful mercenary wielding a stolen mythical sword with a plan to slice open the very walls between the worlds is raising an army unlike any seen in history.

He will break the realm itself to claim it for his own - and only Corayne can stop him.
