My knowledge of Zatanna the DC superhero extends to a vague recollection of her being some sort of magician. So this was a fun middle-grade graphic novel to read as a cute stand-alone, which it totally works as. Zatanna is the quintessential young teenager, discovering herself as she hurtles toward adulthood. Cody takes one ofContinue reading “Review: Zatanna and the House of Secrets by Matthew Cody & Yoshi Yoshitani”

Review: Navigating the Stars (Sentinels of the Galaxy #1) by Maria V. Snyder
Disclaimer: I am friends with the author; however, I purchased this ebook for full price. The premise of this book is an interesting conceit that reminds the reader that once Earth reaches the stars, it will be all of Earth that goes. This book still felt very “Western” despite the characters of mixed heritage, butContinue reading “Review: Navigating the Stars (Sentinels of the Galaxy #1) by Maria V. Snyder”

Review: An Acceptable Time (Time Quintet #5) by Madeleine L’Engle
For the final installment of my 2018 Resolution Project over at Speculative Chic, I reviewed An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L’Engle. Unfortunately, this series did not end with a bang for me. You can read the full review here, and check out an excerpt below: This series, which gave us everything from aliens to angels toContinue reading “Review: An Acceptable Time (Time Quintet #5) by Madeleine L’Engle”
Review: That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston
Let’s start with the title: I would love to find out the author’s original title for this work, but what is was published under makes no sense and smacks of interference on the part of a publisher’s marketing department (though the cover is absolutely gorgeous). Which is a shame, because this novel was a delightContinue reading “Review: That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston”
Review: Many Waters (Time Quintet #4) by Madeleine L’Engle
As I’m completing a resolution to review the rest of the books in this series this year, I was happy to return to the book that I read multiple times while growing up despite missing all the rest. You can find my full review of Many Waters at Speculative Chic. An excerpt: I may not haveContinue reading “Review: Many Waters (Time Quintet #4) by Madeleine L’Engle”
Review: A Swiftly Tilting Planet (Time Quintet #3) by Madeleine L’Engle
Continuing this year’s journey to rectify a series I definitely should have read while I was growing up, I recently reviewed A Swiftly Tilting Planet for Speculative Chic. You can find my full review here. An excerpt: L’Engle has taken her previous ventures regarding science and brought them to an entirely new level here. Something aboutContinue reading “Review: A Swiftly Tilting Planet (Time Quintet #3) by Madeleine L’Engle”
Review: Ouroboros (Circuit Fae #2) by Genevieve Iseult Eldredge
Disclaimer: I consider the author a friend; however, I purchased a hardcopy version of this book for full price. Unfortunately, life got into the way of me devouring this book as quickly as I did the first one in the series. However, the characters and action are vivid enough that I never missed a beatContinue reading “Review: Ouroboros (Circuit Fae #2) by Genevieve Iseult Eldredge”
Review: Snowbound (Bloodline of Yule #2) by Maria Alexander
Disclaimer: I consider myself friends with the author; I received an electronic advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. I finished reading this book at the height of summer in my very warm home office. But I didn’t even think of turning on the ceiling fan, because Alexander brought the freezing cold ofContinue reading “Review: Snowbound (Bloodline of Yule #2) by Maria Alexander”
Review: Moribund (Circuit Fae #1) by Genevieve Iseult Eldredge
Disclaimer: I consider the author a friend; however, I purchased a hardcopy version of this book for full price. For all that I read urban fantasy and LGBT fiction, it surprises me that this is my first F/F urban fantasy — and a young adult (YA) novel, at that. But if a book had toContinue reading “Review: Moribund (Circuit Fae #1) by Genevieve Iseult Eldredge”
