The #LastSunReadalong kicked off over on Twitter last Monday, and it’s been a complete delight to reread one of my favourite books in such great company! You can read my livetweeting threads here and here for silliness and gifs, but for this post, I’m gonna write up a more thoughtful and detailed recap. Feel free […]
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow do I have thoughts about this one.

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?
