Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for this ARC. It has not affected my opinions or my review. About a year ago, the small village where Riela lives alone after the death of her father was threatened by a flood. Riela unlocked magical powers and managed to divert the water and save the village. Now one of the villagers has been savaged by a monster in the woods, and the mostly hostile villagers insist that she go into the forest and dispatch the monster for […]

I owed my life to a dangerous stranger who scowled ferociously but also gave me boots.

  Confession, I read this a while ago and then life kicked me in the face and reviewing books was very hard. My biggest memory is that I enjoyed reading it so much. I preordered it and I will be attending an in person book launch and an online conversation with Jessie Mihalik and Stephanie Burgis, who also has a book coming out the same day. So the details are fuzzy, but the memory of enjoying Riela and Garrick’s adventure is strong. Riela is such […]

This delightful […]

Eclipse the Moon by Jessie Mihalik

I have had a really rough end of last year/beginning of this year with reading.  Probably in part due to the state of everything (gestures at the world at large), so I’m starting my year by finishing up a number of books I started in 2024.  I’ve also started a project that I hope will help me get back into reading.  It’s a book blanket where each square matches the colors of the cover of a book I’ve read this year.  I’m hoping the project […]

Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik

Captain Tavi Zarola does her best to keep her crew fed and her ship in working condition, but sometimes jobs are thin on the ground.  Which means she’s not in a position to turn down an extremely lucrative job, even it comes from General Torran Fletcher, who was on the opposite side of the war.  It certainly doesn’t help that Fletcher insists on accompanying Tavi’s crew along with his own team.  The war might be over, but it left scars on both sides.  But as […]
