I love this book. Plus, it’s not everyday you see a popular book with good polyamorous rep! Or, to be honest, any polyamorous rep. The Chrysalis pilots are men who sacrifice female concubines to power their war machines. Wu Zetian’s sister was one of those concubines, killed by one of the most respected pilots. Zetian,Continue reading “Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao”

Forgive-Me-Not by Mari Costa
Thank you to Netgalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review. This was adorable. I also requested it from Netgalley without realizing it was a graphic novel, but it was a pleasant surprise.

I Am The Swarm by Hayley Chewins
Another wonderful novel in verse! I am simply in awe of this book. The women in Nell’s family have always been magic, going back as far as anyone can remember.

Of Flame And Fury by Mikayla Bridge
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review. This was definitely good. I suspect it’ll become one of the big romantasy books.

Set in the near future where climate change has ravaged the earth, Juli mourns her twin sister Ofe, who passed away the year before. Juli makes a promise to herselfContinue reading “This Is The Year by Gloria Muñoz”
The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Noble
I used to listen to this on audiobook as a little kid (even though it is undoubtedly a bit intense for a little kid), and I recently decided to reread it. I enjoyed it as much as—or even more than—I used to. In 1870, on a mountain in Pennsylvania, lives Auntie, Clara, and Maren. AuntieContinue reading “The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Noble”
