Book Review: Soulstar, by C. L. Polk

This is the last novel in the Kingston Cycle, and I had to wait a little bit for the audiobook to become available, but it was worth the wait. You can see my reviews of Witchmark and Stormsong as well. There will be possible spoilers for the first two books at least, in the review …

Review: A Master of Djinn, by P. Djèlí Clark

On this blog, we stan P. Djèlí Clark. I've yet to be disappointed by anything he's written, and his books are generally kickass, magic-filled, queer, feminist books. I had been looking forward to this for ages, and was just waiting for the audiobook (as I've read both other novellas in this universe in audio and …

Book Review: The Galaxy and the Ground Within, by Becky Chambers

I've owned this book for a while but despite absolutely loving Becky Chambers' every book I've read so far, I was not starting it. I think because it's the last in the Wayfarers series, which made me really sad. I could honestly read 20 more books in this universe, I dream of a sitcom set …

ARC Review: Seven Mercies, by Laura Lam & Elizabeth May

Seven Devils was one of my favourite books of 2021, and I Could Not Wait for the follow up, so I jumped at the chance to review the ARC from Netgalley! I also buddy-read it with Tessa, mostly for support and general yelling "wtf" at each other. (spoilers for Seven Devils in the following review, …

Review: Alice Payne duology, by Kate Heartfield

Now this is one of those books that I'd heard good things about back at Dublin2019, and never got around to it. I did love another Heartfield short story, in a Shakespeare anthology some years ago, and I also own her novel, Armed in her Fashion (still on my TBR) so I had an idea …

Review: Stormsong, by C.L. Polk

I reviewed the first book in the Kingston Cycle the other day, but I feel like the second in the series deserves its own review, as the mood is entirely different, and yet it's also really enjoyable. The Story After spinning an enthralling world in Witchmark, praised as a "can't-miss debut" by Booklist, and as …

Review: Witchmark, by C. L. Polk

I kept hearing so much good about this series, and I was looking for a cool, romance/light fantasy audiobook so I landed on this. I've now just finished audio-reading the second one in the series, and looking forward to the third! The Story In an original world reminiscent of Edwardian England in the shadow of …

ARC Review: The Jasmine Throne, by Tasha Suri

I was so lucky to get this ARC, but due to some circumstances unrelated to the book, I struggled to get to it and then finish it (part of it is really my struggle with ebooks). But I did finish it as part of my mini-readathon this weekend, and I'm very glad I stuck with …

Review: Record of a Spaceborn Few, by Becky Chambers

I've been a bit quiet lately. On the one hand the weather's been gorgeous, and on the other, I'm lacking the spoons to actually write... and that includes blogging But I've still been reading, and I'm very happy to tell you more about the 3rd Wayfarers book today! Becky Chambers is one of my, …

Review: The Haunting of Tram Car 015, by P. Djèlí Clark

It's another one that I feel like I should've read ages ago, but the other night I just wanted something short and sweet to focus my brain on, so I gave this audiobook a listen, and now I'm really excited for more in this series! The Story The Haunting of Tram Car 015 returns to the …
