The Basics

About Adarna SF
Adarna SF is a speculative fiction blog with a focus on ebooks from independent publishers and self-published authors. We review in the areas of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and anything else speculative fiction. We update weekly with book reviews written by our regular reviewers and submitted by our readers. We also post about other stuff related to speculative fiction or ebooks.

We receive ebooks for free in exchange for an honest review. Reviewers receive no financial compensation other than a small percentage from Amazon and Smashwords affiliate links. Clicking on those links will help feed our book buying habits.

Adarna SF was formerly known as “Frida Fantastic”. Read about the blog relaunch here.

FAQ

What is speculative fiction?

An umbrella term to describe speculative/fantastic/fantastika genres like science fiction, fantasy, horror and so on. Read the wikipedia definition here.

What is considered to be indie?
For the purposes of this blog, indie refers to any book that’s not published by one of the big six legacy publishers or their imprints. Indie mostly refers to self-published and small-press books, but we will review books by bigger independent publishers too.

Why review indie speculative fiction?

We like good books no matter what business model the authors chose. We review all books on the same scale regardless of it being self-published/small-press published or published with one of the big six NY houses. Adarna SF focuses on indie ebooks because there are more of them being published everyday, and there is a need for honest and useful reviews about these books.
