Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

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.

Zetian,Continue reading “Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao”

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.
