Til reviews Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Gearbreakers bounces between high-octane mecha fights, rebellion, intense emotions, and savage banter.

And somehow, it manages to be overwhelmingly dull. The action scenes shineRead More
Nat reviews Thorn by Anna Burke
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link My recent infatuation with the Compass Rose series should have been all the warning I needed not to start an Anna Burke book just before bedtime.

Marieke reviews This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Time War reminded me a lot of Good Omens in the sense that two agents–on opposing sides of a high stakes global war that is being fought out across time (yes, time travel) and space and universes, while also only forming a backdrop to the lives of regular unwitting humans–are not as invested in theRead More
