Sapphic Book Reviews

Fearless Defenders Doom Maidens cover
Lesbrary Reviews

Mallory Lass reviews Fearless Defenders by Cullen Bunn, illustrated by Will Sliney and Stephanie Hans.

July 11, 2019 by Danika Ellis

As you may know from some of my earlier reviews, I am new-ish to comics and therefore discovering old gems all the time. Fearless Defenders (2013) is a 12 issue run that has been captured into two trade paperback volumes. Some of the individual issue covers are nothing short of amazing, including a romance novelRead More

Genevra Littlejohn reviews Cinder Ella by S.T Lynn

May 21, 2019 by Danika Ellis

Fairy tales are comforting because we know how they’re going to go. These days, with the advent of modern fantasy, there might be a lot of changes to the incidentals. Maybe the Prince is a marine biologist. Maybe the Evil Stepmother is a media mogul in NYC. Maybe it’s set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, andRead More

The Lady's Guide Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee cover
Lesbrary Reviews

Quinn Jean reviews The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

November 25, 2018 by Danika Ellis

[Warning: this review contains plot spoilers and discussions of violence and bigotry depicted in the novel; namely major characters experience misogyny, racism and homophobia in 18th century European and North African settings. Also this book is a sequel to Lee’s The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue so beware default spoilers for that book too].Read More

America Volume 2
Lesbrary Reviews

Mallory Lass reviews America by Gabby Rivera, Illustrated by Joe Quinones and Annie Wu

November 8, 2018 by Danika Ellis

I only recently (in the last 18 months) got into reading comic books. Honestly, I never understood the appeal, and no one I knew read them when I was younger. But, I am so glad I started. They are a little intimidating to figure out (I still couldn’t tell you their naming/numbering system, it makesRead More

Maddison reviews Ascension by Jacqueline Koyanagi

August 10, 2017 by Danika Ellis

Ascension follows Alana Quick, a sky surgeon AKA starship mechanic, who stows away on the Tangled Axon when the crew comes in search of the services of her sister, Nova. Alana has a chronic and debilitating illness that requires expensive medication and her ship repair yard barely brings enough in to cover her expenses, soRead More

Kelley O’Brien reviews Camp Rewind by Meghan O’Brien

April 5, 2017 by Danika Ellis

I’ve been excited to read Meghan O’Brien’s Camp Rewind since I first read the synopsis last year. A book about two women of color dealing with very real and contemporary problems like social anxiety and online harassment and misogyny? Sign me right up! Despite my excitement for the book, it somehow got pushed back dueRead More
