Spider Star Image
Spider Star (Science Fiction) 60(1)
Published by Tor Books on March 04, 2008
  
SFRevu Review Rating: 60
As a character study this book is lacking, and the ending is improbably sunny. However, the hard SF core of the narrative is enjoyable for everyone who's ever read a science article and thought, "That's really, really cool."

If read Zadayi Read as a modern fantasy, it still has flaws, mostly structural.

ZOO Image
ZOO (Horror) 60(1)
Published by VIZ Media LLC on September 15, 2009
  
Strange Horizons Review Rating: 60
what did shine through as something that I don't see often in English-language speculative fiction was an air of constrained energy beneath the fairly straightforward prose.

UFO in Her Eyes Image
UFO in Her Eyes (Science Fiction) 66(3)
Published by Chatto & Windus on January 01, 2009
  
Strange Horizons Review Rating: 60
UFO in Her Eyes gives us an interesting portrait, lightly sketched, of rural Chinese trying their best to manage the multiple forces bearing down on them; traditionalism and modernization play out a tug of war on this small stage.

Published by Del Rey on March 23, 2010
First Published by Macmillan in 2008
  
Strange Horizons Review Rating: 60
[...] although it has some of the problems associated with that forlorn not-the-fun-introduction-but-not-the-climax-either status of second books, it's good stuff.

Superpowers Image
Superpowers (Fantasy) 60(1)
Published by Three Rivers Press on June 10, 2008
First Published by Vintage in 2008
  
Strange Horizons Review Rating: 60
I found it easy to put down and harder than average to pick back up. I've been a bit hard-pressed to express just why this is; it's not a bad book by any means, but it lacks something, or perhaps lacks a little in several areas.
