There’s just something about a cozy fantasy tale. Some worldbuilding, a little bit of peril, and a lot of slice-of-life moments in which you get to know the characters: it’s just a good combination. Throw in a sapphic couple, and you’ve got me locked in. Rebecca Thorne’s first Tomes & Tea book, then, had meRead More
A Spicy Sapphic Witch x Vampire Romantasy… with Bite: Will It Hurt? by Lily X
This past summer, I came across a post on Instagram by Lily X (she/her/hers), a queer author of color, recommending some spicy sapphic books, including Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao. She seemed like she knew what she was talking about so I ordered Make Room for Love on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. The next timeRead More
Power, War, and Self-Knowledge: The Weavers of Alamaxa by Hadeer Elsbai
The Weavers of Alamaxa picks up right where the previous book, The Daughters of Izdihar, left off—on a giant cliffhanger, so if you’re wary of spoilers for book one, read no further! Daughters ended with Nehal abducted and Giorgina an escaped prisoner. The Daughters of Izdihar have been disbanded by the corrupt government, and weavers,Read More
A Knight, A Princess, and Sapphic Soulmates: The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tashi Suri Review
The Isle in the Silver Sea (out October 21, 2025) by Tashi Suri is a story about stories, set in an alternate version of England, called the Isle. In it, we follow two incarnates—people who are reincarnated to follow the path of a written tale, like The Merciless Maiden, or in this case, The Knight and the Witch.Read More
A Revolutionary Tale: The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai
The Daughters of Izdihar is Hadeer Elsbai’s debut novel. It’s the first in The Alamaxa Duology, and I raced to the second book the moment I finished this one (tune in next month for that review). It’s always a thrill to read a fantasy novel that’s not set in the Western tradition, and with aRead 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
Power, Politics, and Passion: Black Salt Queen by Samantha Bansil Review
Black Salt Queen had everything I want out of a fantasy novel right now. It’s a story steeped in political intrigue, lush world-building, and dynamic characters who feel as real as they are formidable. At the center of the story, we’ve got Hara Duja Gatdula, the aging queen of Maynara who can literally move theRead More
All Damsels, Hold the Distress: Witches, Princesses, and Women at Arms edited by Sacchi Green Review
This was a fun, steamy romp with a side of sexy subversion. It was an anthology I didn’t know existed until I came across it on my Libby one day and absolutely had to read it. (Shameless plug for the Queer Liberation Library—you can sign up for a card for free if you have anRead More
A Sapphic Celestial Slow Burn: Conjuring & Crossroads by Luciana Morfa
You know that feeling when you finish a book and just kind of… sit there, clutching it to your chest like it personally changed your life? That was me after reading Conjuring & Crossroads by Luciana Morfa. It’s one of those reads that sneaks up on you—fun and swoony at first, and then suddenly you’re crying over two goddesses learning how to love each other through centuries of baggage.
Not-So-Dark Academia: The Incandescent by Emily Tesh
I was very excited to get an ARC for The Incandescent by Emily Tesh, because Some Desperate Glory was one of my top books of 2023. Magical boarding school is a jump from space dystopia redemption arc, but Emily Tesh continues not to disappoint. The Incandescent is a zippy, fresh perspective of a boarding school story that sucked me from the beginningRead More
