Nat reviews Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I must confess that I’d seen the cover of Legends and Lattes pop up a number of times and thought to myself, eh, too much of a high fantasy book for my tastes. Well, I should know better by now than write off a book based on genre,Read More
Til reviews Into the Bloodred Woods by Martha Brockenbrough
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Trigger warnings: gore, torture, death, mutilation, sexual assault, child abuse, violence, harassment… and likely others I’m forgetting.

The Queer Heart of the Circle of Magic Series by Tamora Pierce
Something I’ve discovered recently is that you can tell a lot about a person based on which Tamora Pierce series they loved as a child. Song of the Lioness fan? Congratulations on your transition.

Sapphic Novellas To Read In November (Or Any Time!)
You won’t catch me trying to write any novellas this November (respect for anyone who tries to write 50,000 words in a month, it’s just not in my plans any time soon), but I did read a few! To my mind, novellas occupy a challenging space when it comes to fiction. They need to beRead More

Vic reviews The Wicked Remain (The Grimrose Girls #2) by Laura Pohl
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link The Wicked Remain by Laura Pohl is the follow-up to last year’s The Grimrose Girls and exactly the conclusion this duology deserved, which is to say it was clever, full of hope, with a clear love of stories and rage at their prescribed endings.
