“And Now I’m Covered in the Colors”

Silver & Blood by Jessie Mihalik

As far as I am aware, this is Jessie Mihalik’s first full length fantasy novel but given how much I enjoyed her sci-fi romance novels, I was of course going to read this one. Well, to be clear I didn’t actually finish the third novel of Starlight’s Shadow because the couple was annoying me but the first one in that trilogy was so good! And the Consortium Rebellion is also very much worth checking out. And this book was just fun! Riela has lived in […]

A twist on Beauty and the Beast in this start to a romantic fantasy duology (I refuse to accept romantasy as a genre, you can’t make me)

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 […]

Grumpy/Sunshine In Space With Some Miscommunication

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 […]
