Rewrite the world with magic: A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians by H.G. Parry
In which I have a lot of thoughts about this epic historical fantasy.
Find Your Voice: A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow
This was my read for the Justice square of the TarotBLM Reading Bingo! I turned the final page of this book and was left with the feeling that I needed to reread it immediately. Because I think the reason this didn’t wow me might well have been that I just wasn’t in the right headspace […]
Flightless, Take Flight: Throne of Swans by Katharine and Elizabeth Corr
I’m honestly not sure what made me pick this up – I’m a lot more wary of YA than I used to be, and the blurb made Throne of Swans sound very predictable. I guessed this was going to be some kind of Swan Princess retelling. The cover is fairly dull (for my tastes). All […]
Be the Cog That Breaks the Machine: The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis
If you’re looking for a book where there’s a clear Dark Side and no question who the heroes are, this is not the book for you. If you want an adventure, a heist, capers and shenanigans, this is not the book for you. If you’re looking for a comfort read, a quick read, a fun […]

My Favourite Reads of 2020 (So Far!)
As Wyrd & Wonder comes to a close, it feels like a good time to gather together some of my favourite reads from the first half of the year.
Outshining the Sun: Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko
You know how they tell you, don’t judge a book by its cover? ABSOLUTELY JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER.
Witches, War, Worldbuilding: Motherland Fort Salem is a show not to be missed
Wyrd & Wonder isn’t just for books, and there’s one tv show that fantasy fans definitely need to hear about.
Warrior Princesses and Celestial Gods: Sera and the Royal Stars, vol 1
So this is my first comic/graphic novel review for Wyrd & Wonder, and – look, listen. Listen. I have only one thing to say about this book. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! I don’t read comics or graphic novels very often – I’m picky as hell – but this was an unmitigated delight from start […]
