Murderbot’s back! Really, that could be the whole review, and I know so many of y’all would be okay with that and a five star rating. I’m going to give you more than that, obviously, because we love Murderbot. How could we not? Platform Decay follows on the heels of System Collapse, with our beloved […]
Today, we’re mixing things up a bit with a review a bit outside my usual wheelhouse here. I don’t usually talk up romance novels, but something about Anna Cowan’s The Duke struck me as being worthy of focus. Maybe it’s because it’s a queer romance, maybe it’s because it’s set in the aftermath of the […]
Okay. It’s somehow been a month since my last post on here, and even longer since the last one that wasn’t a book review. Sorry, y’all. It’s been… The last three months have been chaotic, and rarely in good ways. We have been dealing with the aftermath of an unexpected death, a resultant shift to […]
When Xiomara decides to brave a threatening storm to attend the reading of her Papi Ramon’s will, she has no idea just what she’s in for. She expects her aunts and uncles (Papi’s surviving children) to be horrible, and for her cousins to gossip. For her, that’s all part of being a member of a […]
The much-awaited sequel to To Shape a Dragon’s Breath is here at last! When Moniquill Blackgoose’s queer indigenous dragon rider novel was released in May of 2023, I was thrilled at the idea of getting a follow-up book. How could I not want to spend more time in that world? Anequs and her dragon, Kasaqua, […]
Every January, I look forward to the release of the newest title in Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series. 2026 was no exception. I’ve loved this series since Every Heart a Doorway, and I’m happy to say that the most recent entry is just as fantastic. When Nancy first arrived at Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward […]
Travis Baldree may not have set out to turn the fantasy world upside down with his first novel, Legends & Lattes, but he definitely managed to shake things up by introducing us to Viv the orc. Viv was a retired adventurer who had given up her rough and tumble daily life to open the first […]
When I first encountered Glen Cook’s The Chronicles of the Black Company, I was fresh out of college and working at Borders (it was 2010, and the economy was garbage, and it was the only work I could get, despite a degree in technical writing). I found the original ten of Cook’s fantasy novels (published […]
Joe Hill’s new novel, King Sorrow, is his first full-length work in almost a decade, and I feel it was absolutely worth the wait. King Sorrow is the story of Arthur Oakes and his friends, and the dragon to which they find themselves pact-bound. It’s New England in the early 90s, and Arthur is a […]
