“They were to one another what fixed stars are to sailors: The only way through the dark.”

The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow

April 25, 2026 by NTE 1 Comment

I’m gonna start with a blanket spoiler warning, and also this: If you haven’t read The Everlasting, don’t look at any of the graphics, or anything I’ve written past this point, because nearly every sentence could be a spoiler, if taken in parts or sum.  Just know that this book is excruciatingly good and you should read it, without knowing anything… else about it, if at all possible. If you have read The Everlasting, come, follow me into what’s probably already the beginnings of lifelong […]

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

December 27, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

This was definitely a great book to end the year with. I still have a few more to go so let’s see where I get before the 31st. I thought the book was pitch perfect and I even cried a little bit at the ending. I loved how everything got looped together, nursery rhymes, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and witches. The Once and Future Witches follows three sisters (Juniper, Agnes, and Beatrice) in a place similar to our world, doing their best to survive along with men […]

She Knocked it Out of the Park

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow

December 1, 2025 by Tracy 2 Comments

I had forgotten just how much I love Alix E. Harrow, especially her prose. I’ve read all of her novels and novellas and a few of her short stories, and this one is my favorite, which is interesting considering how much I typically don’t prefer to read about time travel. But her writing is great, and so was the story itself. The novel is set in a fantasy world, and the timeline moves between present day and the past. Owen, one of the narrators, is […]

The business of empire and myth making

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow

November 14, 2025 by Jen K Leave a Comment

There are a few different layers through which to view this book. At the top, there is the story between the knight and the scholar, two people intertwined across time, who are in a loop and keep reliving the same story, with variations, and have a strong connection and love, and whether they can ever break the cycle and get their happy ending. It is a story about storytelling – something Harrow seems to be more and more interested in with the Spindle Splintered novels […]

Yew and Me

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow

November 6, 2025 by NatalieH 3 Comments

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley. This hasn’t affected the contents of my review. I’m a big fan of Alix E. Harrow’s previous works. The Ten Thousand Doors of January is probably my favourite, but Starling House comes in at a close second. I don’t think I’ve read anything of hers that I haven’t liked to some extent, so I was excited to start her latest novel, The Everlasting, released last month. The Everlasting tells the story of Owen Mallory and […]

Into the Spindleverse

Fractured Fables by Alix E. Harrow

April 15, 2025 by NatalieH Leave a Comment

I’ve enjoyed the previous novels I’ve read by Alix E. Harrow (particularly The Ten Thousand Doors of January and Starling House), so when I came across Fractured Fables on a recent trip to the bookstore, I was excited to find something by her that I had not yet read. This is actually a collection of two stories (I never know what the difference is between a “short story” and a “novella”, but they’re both 100-ish pages long, including some cool illustrations), A Spindle Splintered and […]
