Back in a Spell by Lana Harper

February 23, 2023 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

I’m officially obsessed with this series. I loved the first book so much; a queer revenge story where contemporary witches plot to get the best of their sketchy ex and overthrow a family with too much power? Yes please. The second book was solid and enjoyable, but not queer, so it didn’t stand out as much in my mind. This book though? Super queer with a main character who isn’t always the most likable, but is trying to be better for the people she loves […]

“It’s not like I grow up to be some great war hero or any all-important savior but thanks to my parents at least I get to grow old. Not everyone does.”

Saga (Volume 9) by Brian K Vaughan

February 21, 2023 by ardaigle 2 Comments

Back again with another Saga installment! I can’t believe I’m almost finally caught up. What a roller coaster this series is. I saw that when this series first came out, it was billed as “Star Wars meets Game of Thrones” and I give two thumbs up to that comparison. The only thing I would clarify there is that it’s less “Star Wars meets Game of Thrones” and more “Game of Thrones set in a Star Wars-ish Universe” because every other volume has it’s own Red […]

Exploring self and style

Alone in Space: A Collection by Tillie Walden

February 13, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport, Books Already OwnAlone in Space: A Collection is some of Tillie Walden’s earlier works. I am not sure if things were edited a lot after the original publications, but what we have here is some raw material. Not only are there several stories (some more fleshed out than others) but some of their comments on how their style changed over time. I am fairly certain that most of Walden’s characters are based on actual feelings, thoughts and things she was going through as they […]

I get the appeal but not my cup of tea

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

February 5, 2023 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

She’s finally free from her mother and her mother’s obsession with finding out what happened to her brother. August no longer has to act as an accomplice […]

less engrossing second outing

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

January 18, 2023 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Much like Britt, I think I found this book serviceable but not memorable. Which is a pity, because I think unlike many other “universe” type books, Blake does a good job in interlacing her prior characters into the background of her next novel–Delilah Green and Claire (and Ruby!) are solid secondary characters in the tale of Astrid, who Delilah continues to call Ass. But now it’s done fondly, one would hope. So, Astrid. She’s a Boss Lady in a Tiny Town, basically the first half […]
