Epic in Scope and Intimate at Heart: The Black Coast by Mike Brooks
In which I lose my mind over how awesome this book is and use far too much caps-lock

Powerful, Punk, Poignant: The Velocity of Revolution by Marshall Ryan Maresca
Listen, all you really need to know is BUY THIS BOOK IMMEDIATELY!
Bloodied and Bejewelled: Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson
Gibson wields her pen like a sword and runs you through with it – but oh, you’ll thank her for it.
Coming Full Circle: The Queen’s Weapons by Anne Bishop
The ending this series deserved.
It’s Not You, It’s Me (Probably); The Mask of Mirrors by M. A. Carrick
Alas, I just didn’t care.
A Glorious Chimera of a Book: The Councillor by E. J. Beaton
Long live the Councillor!
Some Gems, Some Duds: Upon a Once Time by Todd Sanders (ed.)
In which I have very mixed feelings about a short story collection.
There’s No Right Way to Be a Person: Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire
Tl;dr: another beautiful, brutal, and powerful instalment in a series that really ought to be mandatory reading by now.
The Past Stays the Same, But History Changes: When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo
A beautiful story that raises thoughtful points on history and who gets to tell it.
Fire and Flowers: The Forever Sea by Joshua Phillip Johnson
A weaker story doesn’t live up to the incredible worldbuilding, but still a fun read!
