[this review contains minor spoilers and discusses depictions of violence and substance abuse in the novel, particularly in paragraph three] Reign of the Fallen is a refreshing and original addition to both the fantasy and the queer YA genres, a welcome departure from more formulaic and predictable novels that populate both areas. Sarah Glenn Marsh’sRead More

Genevra Littlejohn reviews The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara
“I’m livid every time I think about what Jimmy did to me, but you know what enrages me even more? How people started to think that he had a *right* to do what he did, and that I was the one who should be put in the pillory. That whole town needs to be burnedRead More
Alexa reviews The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara
My rating: 3.5 stars I’ve been obsessed with Mary Read ever since I played AC: Black Flag, and while nobody can live up to that interpretation of Mary for me, I was really excited to read a book about her and see a different take. I found that the title matches the book beautifully, becauseRead More

Megan Casey reviews For Every Season by Frankie J. Jones
When I pick up a Bella book, I sometimes wonder if I shouldn’t just assign it a rating of somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3.5 and go on to something else. I’m talking about Bella originals, now, not reprints. I usually come around to the hope that I might run into something really outstanding,Read More
Alexa reviews Into the Mystic Volume 3 by NineStar Press
Her ghost had once told Clotho that no proper ghost story has a happy ending, because ghosts don’t end. It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for fantasy, paranormal and fairytales, so of course I had to pick up an anthology that has nine F/F stories with paranormal elements. While the stories hadRead More
Claire Blatter reviews The Drowning Girl by Caitlin Kiernan
This book is a very complex one. I put off doing the review for a while, letting myself absorb the content fully. It’s only three hundred something pages, but the story within is heavy. It is about some very triggering content, including a suicide attempt, many references to people who have committed suicide, and descriptionsRead More
Nichole B-Larson reviews Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst is the princess story my childhood desperately needed. Coulthurst’s characters are relatable, grow well, and their queerness isn’t the center of the plot–all aspects which make them inspiring. Mare is the strong, “tomboy” princess of my dreams. She shirks the traditional role of a princess within society andRead More
Whitney D.R. reviews Nameless Asterism Vol. 1 by Kina Kobayashi
Where was this manga when I was in middle school? Nameless Asterism is a yuri manga that focuses on middle schooler, Shiratori (center) and her best friends, Washio (left) and Kotooka (right). Shiratori is a soccer-loving tomboy who doesn’t have much experience in dating, unlike a lot of her classmates. Kotooka, however, is frilly andRead More
