Mary reviews The Princess and the Evil Queen by Lola Andrews
Princess Snow White and the Evil Queen (Harlow) have been at war for years. Harlow might have been married to Snow’s father, but he died shortly after they were married, and the two women are very similar in age. Growing up, they had something of a friendship, but that changed over time, and their pathsRead More
Danika reviews The Lost Coast by A.R. Capetta
This was my most-anticipated book of 2019, and it lived up to the hype. I knew from the time that I heard about a YA novel featuring six queer witches among the California redwood forests, I was hooked. This is such an atmospheric, encompassing read. It’s told in a way that mirrors the fantastical events:Read More
Danika reviews Once and Future by A.R. Capetta and Cori McCarthy
That’s what resistance looks like, Merlin. It’s not one glorious, shining victory. It’s a torch you keep burning, no matter what. I’m not even sure how to approach writing about this book, because it is so ambitious. Once & Future is a queer, sci fi retelling of the Arthur myth, with a female Arthur. It’sRead More
Emily Joy reviews Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst
Of Ice and Shadows is Audrey Coulthurst’s sequel to Of Fire and Stars. I read the first book when it came out in 2016, excited for a lighthearted Disney-esque fantasy about two princesses falling in love, which is exactly what I got. When the second book released last August, I was excited to learn aboutRead More
Marieke reviews Summer of Salt by Katrine Leno
[this review contains plot spoilers and discussion of rape] The first half of this novel reads like a landscape painting and the second half reads like a murder mystery featuring an emotional climax, with a sweet but slightly underdeveloped romance sprinkled throughout. In a town on a small nondescript island, magic and salt are alwaysRead More
Mars reviews Hocus Pocus and The All-New Sequel by A. W. Jantha
All her life, Poppy Dennison has known the story of the frightening and magical events that took place in Salem on Halloween night back in 1993. It’s otherwise known as the day her parents really met, or alternatively as the one time her cool Aunt Dani got kidnapped and almost eaten by witches. To beRead More
Mars reviews Ascension: A Tangled Axon Novel by Jaqueline Koyanagi
Please be aware that although I’ve tried to keep it minimal, this review contains spoilers. Alana Quick is one of the best starship surgeons the non-gentrified City of Heliodor has to offer, or she would be if only someone gave her the chance to prove herself on a real starship. Unhappily trapped in the dustyRead 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
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
