Fossil Feud by Maggie North

Some very enjoyable bits, but ultimately didn’t come together for me

Fossil Feud by Maggie North

July 27, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I don’t know if it was mood, book hangover from a bunch of fantastic books, or craft problems, but it took a lot of effort for me to finish Fossil Feud. Fossil Feud was my first book from Maggie North, and my unfamiliarity with the author’s style might have been part of the problem. There were parts … [Read more]

July 27, 2026 by Tracy 2 Comments

I've easily read this at least half a dozen times, and I definitely recalled humorous moments, but my most recent re-read seemed to showcase more of them. Maybe it's because it's been a number of years since I read … [Read more]

Dark Administration

The Incandescent by Emily Tesh

July 27, 2026 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

  There’s one sub-genre of fantasy that’s been having a moment in the last few years that I have been really struggling to fully embrace and that is ‘dark academia’. You would think this might be kind of thing that I might be into given my background, but I’ve never really vibed terribly … [Read more]
