What I’m Reading: The Creative Fire

The Creative Fire

I’ve been on a military sf/space opera jag for a while, so I decided to try something new.  The Creative Fire focuses on a young woman named Ruby and her tightly-regimented life onboard a generational starship.

The orange cover was pretty beaten up:  the hinge had started to rip, causing the cover to slide out of position while I was holding it, and the cover itself looked dingy despite repeated cleanings.
