Everfree Review: Sci Fi Weekly

Sci Fi Weekly has a review of Everfree by John Joseph Adams. It's excellent and I'm completely thrilled. Here's an excerpt:

Readers new to Nick Sagan's work probably have some lofty expectations. His father, the world-renowned Carl Sagan, was both a brilliant scientist and the author of many books, including the terrific SF novel Contact. So he clearly has the genes for good writing and smart science; the question is, does he live up to expectations? The answer is yes and then some, and luckily for SF fans, the younger Sagan has his father's gift for storytelling, but has chosen to devote his life not to writing science but to writing science fiction.

Talk about affirming! After all, I have lofty expectations of myself, so independent confirmation that I'm living up to them feels like years of really good psychotherapy (but without the whole lying on couches, staring at inkblots, talking about dreams, and spending thousands of dollars thing.)
