Lady. Pirates. LADY! PIRATES! What more do you need to know? Also, I know a lot of folks will look at the YA label and cringe, but this book is brutal, and these lady pirates don't swoon or flutter or simper. THEY JUST KICK ASS ALL UP AND DOWN THE SEA. You' ...more |

How do you balance discussions of colonialism, the dual identity of being biracial, the stigmas around sex work, and metal health in a book filled with dark magic and lush descriptions? I have no fucking idea, but Heidi Heilig definitely does. This boo ...more |

“The darkness agrees with me. It asks me to release it, as loud as a roar and as quiet as a whisper. I remember what my sister said long ago: You must control the darkness. You can’t ever give in to it. But the shadows want to make me happy, and I deserve a little happiness”
