DAUNTLESS is an incredible and refreshing YA fantasy, with all of my favorite elements. Sapphic warriors from opposite sides of a conflict meeting together! Court intrigue! Adventure! Really incredibly lush scenery! ARCHERY. I recommend picking it up. Four stars.
This is just my Goodreads review which I put up in early July, and I want it Out of my netgalley queue. I have thought about this book way too much and I am Done Thinking About It. I want to write this here and now: this book is not antisemitic. The magic in the […]
Listen. This is one of my 2022 favorites. It’s Literally Queer Great Gatsby with two trans boys as Nick and Gatsby. I loved it even though it’s historical fiction. If you’re thinking “absolutely yes that’s exactly my alley”, you will not be disappointed. NOW. If you’re thinking, “absolutely yes that’s exactly my alley, AND I […]
This book honestly ranks up there with Ophelia After All for me. Disclaimer, also, that I’ve never read The Importance of Being Earnest. For me, this book reads like an readalike for Molly Kasperek’s work. If I was reading a pitch for this book, it would comp their books. There’s fast moving romance, basically everyone […]
LOVE this cover. Also loved the part where I was anticipating this book but had not yet read it. Having read it, I’m really. Well. I think a lot of other people have said a lot better things on Goodreads and NetGalley than I have, and I will have to wave my hand vaguely towards […]
This is a cool little collection of queer sci-fi stories — something that I would definitely recommend. Claire Kann’s was obviously my favorite, but K. Ancrum’s “Home” definitely also places. It’s no Dahlia Adler anthology, but it is very good — I think it’s really important to read stories of queer people having a future. […]
This book is charming and really short. The cover feels more heartwarming than its actual contents (there is a forced outing and a character is kicked out of their house), but it is ultimately a story of found family and a note of hope for queer teens who feel like they don’t belong. It’s a […]
ENEMIES TO LOVERS? Because their parents own RIVAL BUSINESSES? Gabi awkwardness to Theo’s confidence? Different experiences of being queer from two different people which fleshes them out into fully-realized characters? Incredible descriptions of drinks and pastries? FOOD PUNS? Yeah okay I loved this book. Literally the only thing that could have made this book better […]
Okay, you’ll never guess what I’m about to say… and that’s right! I did not read GEARBREAKERS! This is the second book in a series, and wow it sure does feel like it. This book honestly reminds me a lot of the Locked Tomb series which is also about morally grey lesbians, caveat that I […]
