I got a chance to review Jo-Anne Blanco’s Morgan La Fay, Small Things and Great. It’s got a more fairytale feel than fantasy I’ve read of late. Blanco’s world building is spot on as she recast traditional Arthurian elements to fit her tale. She even does something that few writers do well: use weather to

Rating: 3.5/5 This second volume continues Esther, Daisy, and Susan’s first semester at college. However, this book is more about friendships and relationships than anything else. There are short side scenes, but the main characters most focus on their relationships throughout this story. I certainly still enjoyed it. One of my favorite scenes was from

Stars: 3 out of 5. This is a tough review to write. See, I loved the world Kameron Hurley created, but I deeply disliked our protagonist. Yet Nyx is the product of that word. So that awesome world building that I found so fascinating produced a protagonist so unlikable, that I actually wished the bad

Rating: 3/5 I enjoyed this book more than I initially thought I would. The first chapter said “giving a fuck” and all the various iterations waaaayyyyyyyyy toooooooo many times. I was almost put off to the point where I thought I might close the book and pick a different one, which is saying something. I
