Welcome to the House of Whispers

House of Whispers Vol 1: Power Divided by Nalo Hopkinson, Neil Gaiman, Dominke Stanton

December 31, 2021 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I have a blossoming habit of buying graphic novels, but rarely find the time to read them. I picked up House of Whispers Volume 1: Power Divided from the independent Black-owned bookstore, Sistah Sci-Fi. I wanted to support them on Indie Bookstore Day. I’ve been meaning to start the Sandman novels by Neil Gaiman, but it always felt so daunting! When I came across this volume, it was an instabuy since I’ve been meaning to read something by Nalo Hopkinson. House of Whispers kicked off […]

So much angst and pining and a big sabre-toothed snow cat (Double Cannonball!)

A Touch of Stone and Snow by Milla Vane

December 31, 2020 by Malin 2 Comments

Official book description (cause I haven’t finished the book yet): Danger lurks in the western realms. The Destroyer’s imminent return has sent the realms into turmoil as desperate citizens seek refuge—but there’s no safety to be found when demons and wraiths crawl out from the shadows. Even Koth, a northern island kingdom left untouched by the Destroyer a generation past, is besieged by terrors spawned from corrupt magics. When Lizzan leads the Kothan army against these terrors, only to see her soldiers massacred and to […]

Don’t insult a goddess in her own temple – gonna have a bad time

The Beast of Blackmoor by Milla Vane

December 30, 2020 by Malin 2 Comments

Mala, sent on a quest by the goddess Vela, comes to Blackmoor to locate and tam the legendary Beast. She initially believes the beast to be a demonically possessed mammoth that plagues the area and is surprised when she instead discovers that it is the warrior Tavik, who she first met protecting a caravan of refugees from blood-thirsty revenants. Tavik is pretty much a broken man, who once foolishly defiled a temple of Vela and now believes that everything that happened since then is divine […]

What if Cinderella met a god of death instead of a fairy godmother?

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

December 22, 2020 by pixifer Leave a Comment

I was on hold for this book for months at my local library, and after having read it, I get it. I had a co-worker who said there was a difference between books and literature. At the time, I thought she was being snooty, but every now and then I read a book that makes me go, “Oh, so that’s what she meant.” Gods of Jade and Shadow is literature.  Casiopea Tun lives with her family in a small village in the Yucatán peninsula. Casiopea […]

A Dinétah monster killer

Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse

June 23, 2019 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

I was familiar with Rebecca Roanhorse from Twitter and her articles on Tor.com, so definitely excited for Trail of Lightning‘s release last year. I guess I wasn’t the only one because it was sold out at The Ripped Bodice when I went to buy it! Always a good sign and her novel did not disappoint. Trail of Lightning is the first entry in the series: The Sixth World. After a climate apocalypse that drowns most of the world, several nasty things that go bump in the […]

All great journeys start with a single step

Pears and Perils by Drew Hayes

May 25, 2019 by crystalclear 1 Comment

This is one of the first novels that Drew Hayes wrote, and like all of his other work it is completely different from his other stuff.  The basic premise is that three people have won a cash prize and an all-expense-paid vacation from a burger joint contest. The catch is that the money and  “vacation” is in exchange for the winners to be in a promo commercial for their new “Island Burger.” They are supposed to participate in a local island ritual to release a […]
