Hi Cara,

Journey from fantasy mountains to super-cities, through piratical seas and up into space without missing any must-see sights – or putting a foot wrong with the locals! Whether you’re Lord of the shoestring-budget or Luxe Skywalker – Notes from Small Planets is your pastiche passport through the best worlds of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

Your ultimate travel guide to all the must-see locations in the worlds of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

The perfect gift for self-professed geeks and fans of all things genre – from classic genre listeners to new young disciples of nerdery. From misty mountains to wizarding schools, from the homes of superheroes to lairs of infamous villains – visit your favourite worlds and discover new ones – all without ever missing a single landmark or traditional dish. What’s orc for ‘bon voyage’?

Notes from Small Planet is the perfect coffee table book. It’s great to pick up and read about another world while I am on a break. 

As I was reading the book I tried to decide which worlds travel too. The below worlds;

  • Mittelveide – A Fantasy World with a none human population.
  • Eroica City – A world where superheroes are normal and have a wide range of abilities. 
  •  Spume- Pirate World
  •  Chugholme – Steampunk World
  • SPACE- Space world created on multiple cultures
  • Grondorra- Brutal jungle World
  • Mundania and Whimsicalia – World of wizards and magic. 
  • Wasteland- Post-Apocalypse

All these worlds have something about them that makes me want to visit. Even if I wouldn’t survive the visit. I especially would like to visit mundania/ Whimsicalia, Mittelveide and Eroica City as it’s worlds that focus on my favourite genre.

 

Another element I loved about Notes from Small Planets is the annotations. I loved the back and forth between Floyd and Eliza in those notes. As well as being told the truth about people and situation and note the politically correct things to say.

Notes from Small Planets is a perfect travel book as it contains anything I would need to know to travel in any of the worlds. My favourite topic is the history of the world. It makes me want to learn more. 

 

My Rating for Notes from Small Planet is 4 out of 5.
