Last year, I read the first book in this series, Hunt On Dark Waters. It’s a romantasy with a bisexual witch main character named Evelyn and a telekinetic guy love interest (Bowen). While the writing felt a bit clunky to me, I still had a fun time reading it, and I was especially intrigued byRead More
A Memoir of Anxiety, Queerness, and Figure Skating: On Top of Glass by Karina Manta Review
On Top of Glass by Karina Manta is a memoir of the author’s experiences growing up—equal parts a story about sports, queer identity, and anxiety.
A Tender Romance Between Roommates: Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao
I’m always looking for romances starring trans characters, and with Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao promising a slow-burn romance between roommates, I happily picked it up. That combination implies mutual pining at all hours between people gradually learning how to share their lives, and this book delivered on that premise. With Mira in need ofRead More
A Sincere Satire — Spent: A Comic Novel by Alison Bechdel Review
Fun Home is one of my all-time favourite books, but I haven’t enjoyed Alison Bechdel’s subsequent memoirs as much, and I’ve only read bits and pieces of Dykes to Watch Out For. So I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up her newest graphic novel, Spent. It stars a graphic memoirist named AlisonRead More
Monsters Above and Below the Waves: They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran Review
After a banger debut with She is a Haunting, I was eager to get my hands on Trang Tranh Tran’s sophomore novel They Bloom at Night. Tran delivers another gripping story, with atmospheric tension intertwined with the struggle to fit in to your own body and community. This book dragged me in as relentless the tides, and thenRead More
A Queernorm Sapphic Sci-Fi Graphic Novel: Always Human by Ari North Review
Always Human is a beautiful graphic novel by Ari North (she/her). Originally syndicated on Webtoon as a webcomic, it was later published in partnership with GLAAD. This novel is book one of a two-part series. Although it wasn’t my cup of tea, I encourage you to read it for yourself to see where you land. The novel opens inRead More
A Masterpiece of Lesbian Historical Fiction: The Original by Nell Stevens
As someone who read and loved Nell Stevens’s previous historical novel, Briefly, a Delicious Life (2022), I was eagerly anticipating her latest release, The Original (Norton, 2025), and it did not disappoint! Set primarily in England in 1899, Grace is the longtime ward of her uncle’s family on their once-grand estate. After her parents were sent to mental institutions,Read More

Emily M. Danforth’s Plain Bad Heroines is a dual-timeline horror that follows the mysterious happenings of Brookhants School for Girls. In 1902, two teenage girls fell in love, both with each other and with the scandalous writing of Mary MacLane, only to die tragically with the book by their side. More mysterious deaths follow, until the schoolRead More
Epic Sapphic Fantasy at Its Finest: The Unbroken by C.L. Clark Review
Like any normal book dragon with ADHD, my shelves are filled with highly recommended books that I bought a while ago but haven’t read yet. One such book, the one that has sat near the top of my to-read pile the longest, is The Unbroken by C.L. Clark, the first book in her Magic of the Lost trilogy. EveryRead More
Chronic Illness in Dark Academia Fantasy: A Sharper, More Lasting Pain by Alex Harvey-Rivas Review
I feel like I need to start this review of A Sharper, More Lasting Pain by Alex Harvey-Rivas (they/them) with an unusual amount of personal context, stemming from this quoted passage: “Nine months is a long time,” she echoes. And, in this moment, it feels like a lifetime. The line stopped me short because I’m just overRead More
