should have waited for the Omnibus

Volume 1 I suppose these are hard to write individually, since they form a cohesive three book arc—but, annoying, I can’t just say that I read the Omnibus edition because that is, in fact, a newly edited version that everyone says to read in lieu of reading the three individual volumes. I wish I had looked up this information ahead of time, but when I saw that the individual volumes were available at my various local public libraries but the omnibus was not, I thought […]

more cosmere novellas, but with an ick

Edgedancer by Brandon Sanderson

by Leave a Comment

Had to look up when this was written and was really hoping it was…really long ago? It was 2016, which to be fair does feel like a thousand years ago, but its not really far enough back for Sanderson to use as a plot point (and lame laugh lines) the fact that a secondary character (a senior scribe, who happens to be female) is fat. It’s just…gives the ick, you know, in a book that’s otherwise really enjoyable and written from a unique POV. The […]

standalone fantasy

Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang

by Leave a Comment

This book confused me, and I might actually consider this a round-up-to-three stars. I’ll try many well-reviewed fantasy series that are standalone (which this…definitely is, given the ending), but in doing so I open myself up to some of the critiques that I had for this book, namely that the ratio of exposition/explaining to action is mildly off given that there isn’t a duology/trilogy/more of books to spread the worldbuilding over. To whit: there are sections of this book wherein entire paragraphs are devoted to […]

imagine when a book was sold for $2.95

The Moorchild by Eloise Jarvis McGraw

While reading The Fair Folk on the plane home for the holidays, I already had a sense that this was going to be next on my reading list. Even though I started another recommended book, I couldn’t get myself to sink into it, possessed of this vague unease that this book needed to be the next on the list. I take you back, back to one of the best and most cherished school memories I have of elementary school, shared by many of us: the Scholastic Book […]

more best of lists

The Fair Folk by Su Bristow

by Leave a Comment

Beautiful cover on this book, btw–actually has a very similar color scheme to The Bright Sword, which I felt had similar ¬vibes¬ so maybe someone decided at book publishing club that all books about British Fair Folk and the tug between the real world and the shine of the fae should be a blue toned vibe? That being said, while that book is just blue, this book has a gorgeous, evocative cover that weaves together all the various themes of the novel–little Felicity on the bottom […]

or books written by authors I love but whom I lack alerts for

The Duke at Hazard by K.J. Charles

by Leave a Comment

This is how you create an interwoven universe in Romancelandia, my friends, take note take note. I am starting to believe that every gentleman in K.J. Charles’ England who isn’t a villain might be queer or gay in some way, because that’s certainly the vibe so far. Who else is left to be the hero of the next novel? Because there needs to be a next novel. Even though it does feel very tidily fixed up here? Our main characters are the Duke of Severn, […]
