Deja Vu all over again

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

March 27, 2023 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

In reviewing The Twisted Ones, I would be correct in summarising the plot as such: A young women with a silly nickname, recently single, upends her life and moves to a kooky new location to assist a family member in need. In moving, she is thrown into a world of magical intrigue. She befriends a zany local barista as the mystery at the heart of the magic unfurls. Eventually, she travels to a fantastical world accompanied by a sassy, fishnet wearing side kick, gets stuck […]

“Let the sea swallow your memories, and embrace what you are now.”

Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen

March 26, 2023 by Nart Leave a Comment

If you grew up with the Little Mermaid and now want something a bit more grown up, Skin of the Sea is your catnip. Plot: Simidele was once human but she doesn’t remember that life, and that’s probably for the best. She has become a Mami Wata (water spirit whose job it is to bless the spirits of those who die at sea and help them return to Olodumare). Because the Portuguese have recently discovered Africa, most of those Simidele blesses are Africans who die […]

Tea Set and Match by Casey Blair

If Mireya thought that her life would calm down and let her adjust after the events of the first book, she was sorely mistaken.  Though she earned the provisional title of tea master, there is the matter of an additional test in order to keep it.  And as it turns out that test will be competing in the final round of a tea tournament with absolutely no help from the tea guild.  The tournament itself is brings intrigue and international politics as well as three […]

“A brave man helps. A coward just gives presents.”

Fairy Tale by Stephen King

March 23, 2023 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

I’m a big King fan: I have seen a few movie adaptations, would put “The Stand” on my list of top 20 books, and this is the 15th book of his I have read. This new edition to his pantheon caught my eye at the library and was hesitantly recommended by a friend who was already shin-deep into this book, but on the fence about it. Having finished it, I give it a resounding fist shake for an excellent premise but meandering execution. It’s a […]
