#bookish post

1 – absolute trash. probably racist, sexist, queerphobic. i hate it with every fiber of my being. if i could, i would burn every copy.

2 – did not like it at all, but i can probably forgive the author for wasting my time.

2.5 – i don’t like it, but i can see how it might work for other people.

3 – it was fine. i enjoyed it, but it’s not going to leave a lasting impression. liked some things, didn’t like others.

4 – almost perfect. i liked most things about it, but it was missing that little magical spark to become a forever favourite.

🌸🌸🌸 Check out the "Look Inside" or "Read Sample" feature on the ebook of Cosmos over at Amazon. The ebook allows you to read 80 pages! The paperback link only showed me 14 pages. Definitely read what happens to some of the MCs on the day of the extinction event. See if the story hooks you. It's dark, there are triggers, and Kali's not even there yet. She brings more triggers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “In a post-apocalyptic world, describe love. Define crazy. What's off limits? Cyphers takes us by the hand and leads us through a tale of Armageddon with no apologies, no blindfold, no time to stop and rest.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Post-apocalyptic science fiction craze, it’s an amazing book.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “There’s quite a lot of violence and sex, and the violence is graphic and the sex is… sexy.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Cosmos is raw, uncensored, and totally seductive in all senses of the word. It’s like a book with something for everyone: philosophers, sci-fi, dystopian fans, and some eroticism.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Read the ‘look inside’ preview, I dare you, it nearly made me late for work!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I would like this novel for a tv adaptation! It has everything.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This story is original and powerful. For a post-apocalyptic tale, it doesn’t go where you expect it to.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Every book should have a bearded red haired alcohol making, party inducing Irishmen in it! James quickly became one of my favourite characters! The ending was so disturbingly satisfying! I highly recommend reading The Cosmos in her Hand! I loved it!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This was such a great book! It had me from the first page.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The relationship between Lev and Kali is just absolutely beautiful.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The ending of this book is incredible, there’s an initial climax and return to semi-normality, and then there’s Kali, again. Kali has to finish this novel properly, with the help of Lev and those who love her. It’s an intense and emotional ending which is violent, disturbing, and brilliant. Perfection.”

I don't necessarily mind this but I'd just love something with a more awkward, nerdy, fumbling and/or shy love interest that the heroine wants to get to know rather than just jump the first chance she gets. Maybe he even wears glasses!
