Will I ever stop talking about how much I love THE KINDOM TRILOGY by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social? No. It's not like it's an unloved series, but I desperately need more people to read it and talk to me about it because it's top tier space opera and the fact it's a debut is mind-blowing.

I don't know who else here has read #thewarofart by Steven Pressfield but never has a book turned me off so hard, so fast.

It's not often that the middle book in a trilogy ends up being my favourite book in said trilogy, but I couldn’t put ON VICIOUS WORLDS by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social down. I adored the whole series, but this book in particular had me in a chokehold.

Vacation reading spree is underway. Already through the Kindom Trilogy by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social . Very, very good! Some fantastic characters and an interplanetary society that sucked me right in.

#HeadsUp: as noted by @galatfemme.bsky.social, These Burning Stars (The Kindom Trilogy Book 1) by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social is on US ebook sale for $1, so I got some copies for random giveaway. I believe I've given it out before, since I already have it, but haven't read it yet.

I’ve got to admit, I came to @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social’s book looking for swashbuckling spaceships but got palace intrigue, revenge, intricate plots and a compelling “will they or won’t they” story that goes in a direction you won’t expect. I’m looking forward to the next one

Time to support the @locusmag.bsky.social 2026 fundraiser! There's one signed copy left of THIS BRUTAL MOON! Locus is an essential fixture of the science fiction community. Pledge, buy, subscribe, and show the love!

In this dark green poorly made marketing image, the link to locus.mag.com/IGG26 directed you to One signed copy left of This Brutal Moon, whose green and blue, very cyberpunk noir cover depicts a silhouette staring forward against the backdrop of a cityscape under missile fire.

@dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social I just finished This Brutal Moon, and it was a great finish to a really beautiful series. The characters often suffered brutal injuries and losses (and had me crying). The characters felt unique and three dimensional. The world you built is fresh and novel. Thank you!
