Nat reviews The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Sometimes we pick up a book with certain expectations – sometimes we also discover that those expectations are way off the mark.

Til reviews Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Gearbreakers bounces between high-octane mecha fights, rebellion, intense emotions, and savage banter. It’s a story about a wasteland outside a glittering, high-tech city. It has plot twists and schemes, and characters always willing to break the rules. And somehow, it manages to be overwhelmingly dull. The action scenes shineRead More
