The Impossible Contract is the second book in Doore’s Chronicles of Ghadid trilogy, a series following a family of assassins in a desert world where water is not only currency, but magic. Contract reads perfectly well as a standalone, but you’re missing out if you skip over book one, The Perfect Assassin, with its homoromantic-asexual, […]
Edwards has done the impossible: Hanged Man is EVEN BETTER than Last Sun!
WE MIGHT BE GETTING A TAROT SEQUENCE TV SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the series which, if you’ve forgotten, features a queer lead in a society which normalises queerness and group marriage, is fabulously fantastical with so much magic, and revolves around a platonic relationship that makes Steve and Bucky look like distant acquaintances!

This deserves every bit of the hype it’s received. Despite the promise of f/f, this wasn’t actually a book I was originally especially excited about – I don’t usually have a lot of interest in dystopias, which was what this sounded like, and I guess the blurb struck me as sounding a little too…conventional YA?
