Disclaimer: ARC via Netgalley. I wanted to love this book; truly I did. Gender swapped Henry IV and such, with lesbians? What’s not to love? Well, quite a bit it turns out. The main problem in this book isn’t the gender swapping or the world building. These are very well done, and it is clear that G...
I received a copy from Netgalley.I somehow wound up with three Netgalley e-arcs – one was a sample I got by mistake. One approval from the US site which I never expected to be approved for and one from the UK site (I have both UK and US residences so I use both sites).Reading this book reminded me o...
This fantasy novel is basically a take on King Lear with all the main characters, often with similar names, the fantasy element coming through the magic of the land as manipulated by key characters. Quite engaging, especially if you're not familiar with the original play (as in my case) but too long...
As the name of the book suggests, this was an anthology of stories featuring love triangles. Even though some of them really didn't have much of one. As with all anthologies, there was a mix of stories I loved and stories I did not. There was an impressive amount of diversity as far as race and sexu...
Incredible. Normally, I can't stand short stories and flash fiction. I hate being ripped out of a world or away from characters too soon, hate the dangling, interpretative open endings, hate the overly refined clever little twists and touches.All of which to say, I stayed up until 4 am and finished ...
This is a great collection of stories that take their inspiration from Grimm's Fairytales. Some of the stories are better than others and some are deliciously dark. There is one tale that could be a trigger (it contains incest). That one was a bit difficult to read - no details, but still. These...
Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff are YA fantasy authors who have been writing buddies since 2008. In 2012, they decided to demonstrate what it is that their critique group does by publishing The Curiosities, a collection of short pieces that one of them had written and the other...
I absolutely enjoyed every story in this book. Some were dark and creepy and reminded me of tales for the dark side or like maybe I stepped into the twilight zone. Then others were my favorites like Hanson and Greta. The 3 lil pigs one the beauty and the beast ones they were all amazing and well fit...
Rok temu udało mi się przeczytać książkę ,,Magia krwi" Tessy Gratton, którą wspominam bardzo mile. Okazała się być inna niż moje wyobrażenia mi podpowiadały, jednak bardzo przyjemnie się ją czytało. ,,Strażniczka krwi" to drugi tom należący do tej samej serii, co książka już przeze mnie wspomniana. ...
This is going in my #LGBT tag because there is at least the Malinda Lo story, but unfortunately its 99% hetero shit. Basically the majority of my thoughts on this anthology was "it could have been gayer, also there was an opportunity for a gay trans man and you missed it." Here are my thoughts now t...
