Bone Crier’s Moon By Kathryn Purdie Hits Every Target

Très magnifique! Bone Crier’s Moon is a really good example of why, even if you didn’t enjoy the author’s first book, sometimes giving a chance to their next series can show remarkable improvement. I was a little reluctant to read the book only because I hadn’t enjoyed Burning Glass and I was a little put […]

What We Devour by Linsey Miller

Linsey Miller is a very special author who produces books that can never be described as generic YA fantasy. This book had so much going for it: incredible worldbuilding, unforced yet passionate diversity, a ruthless yet moral lead character, disability rep, a gender-fluid character whose pronouns kept changing with no explanation (which I found really […]

Girls With Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young

I thought this book was phenomenal. It had everything I ever wanted. Amazingly strong, lovely female friendship and no backstabbing. Sweet yet realistic boy that isn’t required to save anyone because they save themselves An intelligent heroine I also thought this was plotted beautifully and really reminded me of Plato’s allegory of the cave. It […]

A Line in the Dark by Malinda Lo

I quite enjoyed this book, though there are a couple of things that I do have issues with. First I’ll talk about the good things: It’s queer and there is no judgement or hate for the queer characters. Jess’s mother, who is Chinese, even says, “If you’re a lesbian, that’ s not a problem.” Jess […]
