Cozy fantasy and Sci-fi are my self care reads. I love a good magic system and dragons are always welcome. I like my Sci-fi LGBTQ+ positive. YA and Romance fill a sweet spot. And I never underestimate good children's fiction! (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Dome’Loki's Quick Questions interview.)

Dome'Loki's Reviews:

The book "Brigands and Breadknives" by Travis Baldree is standing on top of two books that are lying down. The books that are lying down are "Bookshops and Bonedust" and "Legends and Lattes" also by Travis Baldree.

“Books are a weapon against lonliness. Putting them in the right hands lets people see one another. It makes us…better to one another”.

Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree

January 5, 2026 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Brigands and Breadknives returns us to Travis Baldree’s cozy fantasy world.  While the first book, Legends and Lattes, and the second published book (that’s actually a prequel), Bookshops and Bonedust, are able to be read on their own, Breadknives and Brigands requires you to have read Bookshops and Bonedust, and it’s helpful if you’ve read Legends and Lattes. Foul mouthed rattkin bookseller, Fern, has been adrift in her own life.  Running her bookstore in Murk is no longer giving her the satisfaction it once did.  A change of […]

Cold magic, revolution, and love

Cold Magic by Kate Elliott

Cold Fire by Kate Elliott

Cold Steel by Kate Elliott

December 25, 2025 by Dome'Loki 4 Comments

This review is for emmalita.  I haven’t been writing reviews in months due to life reasons but I wanted to share with her how awesome I found this trilogy.  Instead of writing her a bunch of texts, I decided it was time to write a review.  Emmalita introduced me to Kate Elliott with The Keeper’s Six.  Earlier this year I devoured Elliott’s’ The Witch Roads and it got me wanting to explore her back catalog so I got the audiobook version of Cold Magic, book one […]

The books "F*cked Up Fairy Tales" by Liz Gotauco and "The Raven Scholar" by Antonia Hodgson standing in front of a Christmas tree.

Thank you, narfna!

December 23, 2025 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

When The Raven Scholar arrived, I was delighted as it has not been on my radar but it does sound like something I will quite enjoy.  Since receiving it, I keep seeing it pop up online as recommended and now I’m even more excited to read it!  Then F*cked Up Fairy Tales arrived a few days later and I couldn’t have been more stoked.  I’ve been following Cosbrarian online since 2020 and I’m delighted to read her book.  Thank you for such thoughtful picks!

The book, "Malibu Rising" by Taylor Jenkins Reid is lying on a black and white cat that is curled up on a blanket.

I feel the title should have been Malibu *Burning*

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 14, 2025 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

Bingo: Play – Surfing is an important part of this family. My introduction to Taylor Jenkins Read was Daisy Jones and the Six.  I then went on to Carrie Soto is Back and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.  All listened to in audiobook format, which were amazing.  Highly recommend them.  It was a happy day when I found Malibu Rising in a free little library.  I needed a book to take to the beach a week ago and this seemed like the perfect candidate. It was nice […]

A swing and a miss from Scalzi

When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi

August 12, 2025 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

Bingo: Black I’ve been a longtime Scalzi fan since a friend insisted I read Old Man’s War.  However, his last trilogy, The Collapsing Empire, didn’t do it for me.  Then along came The Kaiju Preservation Society, 5 star read, followed by Starter Villain, 5 star read.  Scalzi was on a roll!  After seeing him at an event for Starter Villain, I was so geeked for the final book in this triptych, When the Moon Hits Your Eye.  Scalzi explained this at the event and here is a concise description […]

“In my place will grow a feral rose, soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth”

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab

July 16, 2025 by Dome'Loki 3 Comments

Bingo Square: B – Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil V.E. Schwab has created another enjoyable stand alone novel with Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.  It’s about hunger, love, and rage.  Starting in 1532 Spain and concluding in 2019 Boston, Massachusetts.  Three women, across time become inextricably linked and, in Schwab’s words, this is their “toxic, lesbian vampire story”. Bury my bones in the midnight soil,   plant them shallow and water them deep,   and in my place will grow a feral rose,   soft red […]
