(And airships! Did I mention the airships?) I’m not even halfway through it, but I suspect this book will demand a rather glowing review. The language is lovely, the characters are multi-layered, the story got me hooked, and I have no idea where it’s going.

Sure, it’s chock full of names I won’t even try to pronounce, but it’s also got insane court intrigue, a young boy suddenly being the ruler of an entire empire, learning to grow up and put his past behind him. Karl Schroeder’s Lockstep is a grand innovation in hard SF space opera. Now, with the help of a lockstep girl named Corva, Toby must survive the forces of this new Empire, outwit his siblings, and save human civilization. Suspicious of the return of his long-lost brother, whose rightful inheritance also controls the lockstep hibernation cycles, Peter sees Toby as a threat to his regime.

Toby’s brother Peter has become a terrible tyrant. Not only is Lockstep the new center of the galaxy, but Toby is shocked to learn that the Empire is still ruled by its founding family: his own. Its citizens survive for millennia, traveling asleep on long voyages between worlds. Here cold sleeps can last decades and waking moments mere weeks. Welcome to the Lockstep Empire, where civilization is kept alive by careful hibernation. But when Toby wakes again, he’s surprised to discover a thriving planet, a strange and prosperous galaxy, and something stranger still-that he’s been asleep for 14,000 years. After all, the planet he’s orbiting is frozen and sunless, and the cities are dead. When seventeen-year-old Toby McGonigal finds himself lost in space, separated from his family, he expects his next drift into cold sleep to be his last. Something light and fun for in between meatier novels, a story with bland, stereotypical characters, but a story with some great ideas. I finished reading this one last weekend and my review will be up tomorrow. For organizational purposes, and your TBR-note-taking pleasure, I made a list: MARCH 25th

Seeing as I’m really looking forward to most of these books and I want to keep up my end of the bargain (a free book for an honest review is more than fair, in my opinion), I intend to read all of these in time for publication day. But this year seems to be a great one – at least judging by the pile next to me and the ebooks on my Kobo. I did get occasional offers to read self-published works, or traditionally published books that just didn’t interest me much. I don’t think I’ve ever received as many review copies as I have since January 2014.
