A cozy, low stakes fantasy about an orc opening the coffee shop of her dreams

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

December 30, 2022 by Dome'Loki 3 Comments

I don’t recall when I started seeing ads for Legends and Lattes online but they immediately grabbed my attention with the adorable picture of two female baristas, an orc and succubus, on the cover.  Then, my favorite bookshop fell head over heels for it and I knew I had to read this book.  Our family does a Winter Solstice book exchange and one of my daughters gifted me Legends and Lattes.  It took restraint to finish New City, Who Dis? before starting it. The book advertises itself […]

The books, "The City We Became" and "The World We Make" by N.K. Jemisin standing next to each other.

“New City, Who Dis?”

The World We Make by N.K. Jemisin

December 28, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

I discovered N.K. Jemisin through The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms trilogy.  Loved the first two, was very ‘meh’ about the third.  Then The Fifth Season erupted onto the scene and blew my mind with such a creative fantasy, Jemisin became an auto-buy author.  She hasn’t disappointed me yet and The World We Make is another excellent entry in her list of works. In Jemisin’s world, cities have the ability to awaken.  When enough people live in them, when the idea of the city’s identity becomes a belief […]

So this is Christmas by Jenny Holiday

December 18, 2022 by Dome'Loki 3 Comments

On Friday afternoon I stepped into the security line at the airport to look down at a message that just arrived on my phone, my flight had been delayed by an hour.  Now facing three hours at the airport instead of two, I went to the nearest store selling books.  While pondering what to get, I started putting titles and authors into Cannonball Read to see what others had to say.  Thus far no one has reviewed, So This is Christmas.  However, both Emmalita and Malin […]

Beauty and the Beast with no Stockholm syndrome and more magic

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

December 18, 2022 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

In 2020 I read Naomi Novik’s, Spinning Silver, which I found to be an excellent reimaging of Rumpelstiltskin.  I finished the review with,  “Uprooted is going on my “wish list”.  Between then and now I got Uprooted in a Cannonball fundraiser but it has sat on the shelf.  I had this slated for the “Bird” square in Cannonball Bingo because of the bird on the cover.  However, I ran out of time and used Transmetropolitan volume 2: Lust for Life instead. I’ve long been a fan of […]

The book, "Under the Whispering Door" by TJ Klune standing next to a wooden snowman.

“Sometimes, death is a blessing, even if we don’t realize it right away.”

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

December 17, 2022 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

I was gifted Under the Whispering Door Winter Solstice, 2021.  Narfna described it as a ‘warm hug’ in her review and I wanted to save it for when such a book was needed.  Somehow almost a year has passed and it sat on the shelf.  When looking for my next read I swear I could hear the book say, “You should read me before you get more books for this year’s Winter Solstice book exchange”.  The book had a point so I picked it up and […]

If you like Outlander but prefer no rape and more fantasy magic, this is for you!

Wyldwood: The Spiral Pathways series by Tava Baird

November 30, 2022 by Dome'Loki 3 Comments

This completes my first full cannonball since 2019!  A little while back Cannonballer Tava offered up a few free copies of her book Wyldwood.  The description caught my interest and I threw my hat into the ring to get one and I’m glad I did!  Part historical fiction, fantasy, and romance Wyldwood is set in Scotland of 1746, several months after the disaster that was Culloden. Saorsa Macdonald Stuart is the fictional niece of Bonnie Prince Charlie and is on her way to be married against […]
