Rachel Friars reviews Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
Kalynn Bayron’s Cinderella is Dead is the queer fairy-tale retelling we needed in 2020. Bayron’s novel is doing amazing things for queer fiction, fantasy, and YA.

Danika reviews The Worldbreaker Saga by Kameron Hurley
The Worldbreaker Saga is a brutal, brilliant series. It is emphatically queer: it examines gender and sexuality from multiple angles, polyamorous configurations of genders are the norm for relationships, there are multiple non-binary point of view characters, and the main character is attracted to women. It boasts a huge cast of point of view charactersRead More

From the start, this book was one adventure after another, yet it didn’t feel rushed and was well-paced. Not Your Average Love SpellRead More
Sheila reviews Wolf by Chris Fenwick
The first book in the State Changers series by Chris Fenwick is Wolf. I wanted to read this book to expand more outside of what I usually read. I used to read a lot of fantasy books when I was younger, and thought that this would be a great way to dip back into thisRead More

Danika reviews Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst
Has it really been three years since I fell in love with Of Fire and Stars? I never had a chance against a high fantasy YA about two princesses falling for each other. I was eager to pick up the sequel, and it definitely did not disappoint. In fact, I think this second book has a strongerRead More
