For Review

New to the review shelves this week is Journey by Shannon Phillips & German Yanovsky, a sci-fi novel that braids together a number of diverse stories, including a transfem lesbian romance and multiple nonbinary characters. It’s kind of “Black Sails” meets “The Expanse” — punk/noir with a cyberpunk edge.

Currently Reading

The same eclectic batch of reads this week, including Dancer’s Lament (the first Path to Ascendancy Malazan prequel novel) by Ian C. Esslemont, The Mercy Makers by Tessa Gratton (so, so, so good!), and Blood and Embers by Jordan Michelle (an enemies-to-lovers, fake fiancée, WLW romantasy with a dark, magical edge).
