Oz’s Got Nothing on This: Over the Woodward Wall by A. Deborah Baker
Madeleine L’Engle said,“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.” And that’s exactly what Seanan McGuire has done.
Magic is Here, Queer, and Ready to Fuck You Up: The Scapegracers by Hannah Abigail Clarke
Scapegracers doesn’t need you to love it. It dares you not to.
A Map to Tomorrow: Master of Poisons by Andrea Hairston
“Impossible is a word for yesterday, not tomorrow.”
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 […]
Reaching for Immortality: Or What You Will by Jo Walton
Whatever you think this book is going to be, you’re wrong. Or at least, I was very wrong about this book. I was hoping… I’m not sure, exactly, but I was incredibly excited about the idea of a book about a muse. About the avatar of someone’s imagination, their creativity. And it’s true that this […]
