I don’t know about any of you, but reading has proven a bit tricky for me during the pandemic. I kind of flit from book to book, hoping to settle on something that will be the perfect escape from what’s going on in the real world, and no one was more surprised than me toRead More
Sinclair reviews Fledgling by Octavia Butler
Content Warning: This review contains spoilers, but only specifics about the world, nothing plot-specific past the first chapter. I knew almost nothing about this book when I started reading it, and it was such a pleasure to be surprised, so if you like vampire stories, or Octavia Butler, I highly recommend it and you canRead More
Mo Springer reviews Cinderella is Dead by Kaylynn Bayron
200 years ago, Cinderella died. Now, all the girls of the kingdom are forced to reenact her fairytale, forced into marrying men who mistreat them and discard of them as they please.

Sinclair reviews The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison
A friend recommended I read The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison, saying it was one of her favorite novels, and I trust her taste, so I picked it up. I was hooked immediately. I didn’t know a ton about it going into it, so I don’t want to say too much aboutRead More
Kayla Bell reviews The Labyrinth’s Archivist by Day Al-Mohamed
Are you looking for a book with a diverse cast, compelling story, great worldbuilding, and disability representation? Lucky you, because you have The Labyrinth’s Archivist. This fantastical novella stars Azulea, the newest in a long line of Archivists, the people who interview travelers and make maps of the worlds that extend out from the Archivists’Read More
Carolina reviews The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
“Your characters begin to live the way you do, unrepentant. Never reduced to their queerness, only expanded by it. It infuses them in many ways, sometimes subtle, others loud.” What does it mean to be invisible? As queer people, most of us are familiar with invisibility in many forms. For some of us, it’s beingRead More
Thais reviews Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland
I have had Dread Nation in my TBR list for a while. After Deathless Divide was released, I was even more pressed to check out this duology, even though YA stories about zombies are not exactly something I would normally read. The premise was just too good—after the dead rise during the American Civil War,Read More
Marieke reviews This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Time War reminded me a lot of Good Omens in the sense that two agents–on opposing sides of a high stakes global war that is being fought out across time (yes, time travel) and space and universes, while also only forming a backdrop to the lives of regular unwitting humans–are not as invested in theRead More
Landice reviews Architects of Memory by Karen Osborne
I’m not quite sure how to describe my experience of reading Architects of Memory. I started to say it was “a delight” to read, but that’s not even close to accurate, because this is an incredibly heavy book. And when I say heavy, I’m talking “what if corporations really were able to colonize space andRead More
Casey A reviews Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee
C. B. Lee may have taken the most interesting spin ever on “write what you know” as her protagonist, Jessica Tran, is a first generation Asian American bisexual, just like she is, but the world of her story is certainly not Lee’s lived experience. Jess lives in the North American Collective, a super state formedRead More
