The Good Things Book two in the Falconer trilogy by Elizabeth May, a YA historical fantasy series filled with vicious faeries. I found a new favourite character in Aithinne! Her sarcasm is just amazing. I laughed so much more than I expected to! There are some brilliant sibling dynamics and great dry humour. I loved […]
The Good Things I’m finally rereading this so I can finish the series! It was one of my favourite reads (and my first ever Edelweiss eARC) in 2013 or 2014. Fast-paced, action packed YA historical fantasy set in 1840s Scotland. I couldn’t put it down! Aileana is a badass! SO MUCH STEAMPUNK! Aileana invents some […]
Six Crimson Cranes is an enchanting new YA fantasy based on East Asian folklore and the The Wild Swans tale. It promises a lush, magical story featuring a Princess who becomes exiled, a swoon worthy Prince and even shape-shifting dragons (which was my favourite part of the book). So how did it hold up? 5 Things I […]

The Good Things Sequel to The Eyes of Tamburah, Maria V Snyder’s new NA fantasy series. I really enjoyed the exploration of the magic! Shyla’s new abilities with the Eye’s, and the moral dilemmas they put her in, were very interesting! We got to know the side characters better! They’re some of the most fascinating […]

When I first heard of this lesbian ghost thriller set in Malaysia featuring an Asian main character, I was totally on board, and started the audiobook right away. I haven’t read anything by Zen Cho before, but this cover and premise totally drew me in and I needed to find out more. A melting pot […]

Nina and Nikolai are my favourite characters from the series, and following their perspectives and seeing what they’re up to is always a delight. While I know some people had their reservations about King […]
