This book was a ton of fun
Review of The Noble and the Nightingale by Barbara Ann Wright This was a ton of fun. While I’m a Wright fan, I went into this book with my expectations lowered a bit. I noticed that some of the reviews were a bit mixed and for some reason, the cover bothered me. I can’t even […]
There’s Magic Between Us by Jillian Maria
A surprising YA fantasy novel with wonderful characters When she told her grandma she hoped to visit soon, sixteen-year-old Lydia meant it in a polite way, not in an I’ll-be-there-next-week way. Her grandmother was so happy though that when her mother drives her from Chicago to the tiny town of Fairbrooke, Wisconsin, Lydia vows to […]
Solid writing but I struggled too much with the story
Review of Pyotra and the Wolf by Elna Holst Pyotra and the Wolf is the first Elna Holst story I couldn’t get a real connection with. Not being a real fan of the whole wolf-shifter genre, I was still hoping there would be enough Holst magic to keep me happy. And I can’t deny the […]
The writing was good but the story was lacking
Review of Queen of All by Anya Leigh Josephs This was just okay. The writing was good but the story was lacking. I love sapphic, YA fantasy, but unfortunately, this wasn’t the book I was hoping for. While this was disappointing, I did see some clear potential in the writing. Since this is the start […]
A fantastic novel in an ok audio version
Review of Compass Rose by Anna Burke, audiobook narrated by Annette Romano I read Anna Burke’s debut novel in January 2019 and loved it. Ms. Burke was then a promising new author who had received the Golden Crown Literary Society’s Sandra Moran scholarship created to mentor unpublished writers. Little did we know that in a […]
A very enjoyable (albeit dark) fantasy pirate audiobook
Review of Uncharted by Alli Temple, narrated by Emily Woo Zeller Since their father passed away, Georgina – George – is under her half-brother’s “protection”, which, in the bleak kingdom they live in, means she’s his property and if he wants to marry her off to the cruel prince, she has no say in the […]
The epic fantasy book I have been searching all year for
Review The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri Finally! The epic fantasy book I have been searching all year for. I love fantasy and there is nothing I would rather read than some sapphic fantasy. While I have read some okay and even some good fantasy books this year, there has not been anything I thought […]
A mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA book
Review of Girls at the Edge of the World by Laura Brooke Robson A very good premise, but the book as a whole didn’t all come together for me. This book was a really interesting mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA. When you throw in sapphic characters… well let’s just say this was […]
I would recommend this to urban fantasy fans
Review of Black Water Sister by Zen Cho I enjoyed this one. I have not been having the best reading luck lately so it was really nice to read a solid, good story. Cho is completely new to me, but I have wanted to read her for a while. I found her writing style quite […]
