“A new magic has entered the realm of the Sidh–and its name is rock n’ roll!” – Gossamer Axe front cover blurb I will admit that I picked this up primarily because of the cover. A woman in high fantasy/ancient Celt robes, hair billowing behind her, playing an electric guitar? Add in the cover blurbRead More
Marthese reviews The Fletcher by K. Aten
‘’I have lived my life by the lead and the arrow and I respect the trees and the animals they shelter’’ I’ve been meaning to start another fantasy series and it seems like The Arrow of Artemis is going to be it. Set in a fantasy classical (Greek) world, this series follows Kyri on her journey asRead More
Whitney D.R. reviews Princess Princess Ever After by Katie O’Neill
Princess Princess Ever After is a cute middle-grade story about two princesses who evade their royal duties, but find something greater along the way. I have to admit, I was nervous to read this based on the cover. I’m always leary when one of the main characters is of color and masculine-presenting (Amira), while theRead More
Quinn Jean reviews The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza by Shaun David Hutchinson
[Please note: this novel contains occasional depictions of violence and this review mentions these in the first and final paragraphs] Like its eponymous heroine, The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza defies categorisation. Hutchinson’s novel never doubts the reader’s intelligence and jumps right into the centre of events at the start. Elena Mendoza is introduced as aRead More

Marthese reviews Wish Our Hearts Away by E.J. Phillips
”If nothing is right, then you have the freedom to change anything” This week is pride week in Malta, and I’m going to share a very queer read that I enjoyed a lot. The book has a diversity of queer characters. It’s not just sapphic but has two boys (well, youth) that are fond ofRead More

[This review contains very vague spoilers (no specific plot points, though) and mentions of violence] This exceptional short story collection, edited by Saundra Mitchell, is a sterling addition to WLW fiction. The vast majority of the seventeen stories included involve major WLW characters and without fail, every tale is breathtakingly beautiful. The historical settings rangeRead More
Sponsored Review: Danika reviews A Lake of Feathers and Moonbeams by Dax Murray
A Lake of Feathers and Moonbeams is a queer Swan Lake retelling, and honestly, it just had to live up to that premise to win me over. I may not be incredibly familiar with the ballet, but I grew up watching Swan Princess constantly. Besides, queer fairy tale(-esque) retellings are one of my favourite thingsRead More
Quinn Jean reviews Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh
[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
Mallory Lass reviews the Alpennia Series by Heather Rose Jones
The Alpennia Series never stopped surprising me and often put a smile on my face or pulled a laugh from my lips. The theme of “found family” runs through this series and gave me so many warm and fuzzy feelings. I’ve also wanted to give at least one or two of the characters in eachRead More
