A review for the second book in the Charlatan Duology by Holly Black. Thief of Night starts off pretty much where the first book ended with Charlie in over her head and making bad decisions. This is a great blend of urban fantasy and noir with a magical system based on shadows.
A review for the new novella by Naomi Novik. The Summer War is a heartwarming story about vengeance, familial love and forgiveness. It is a modern fairytale with a young protagonist that you will cheer for as she explores her new found powers.
A review for the adult debut, A Land So Wide by Erin A. Craig. This is a very atmospheric, historical fantasy with a bit of horror and romance mixed in. I loved the main character and her journey to find her lost love and rescue him from a terrible fate.
A review for the newest book by R.F. Kuang coming out in August. Katabasis is an interesting and enjoyable read about two graduate students who enter Hell in order to retrieve their recently deceased professor. The author has written a fascinating version of hell populated by interesting characters.
A review for the newest book by T. Kingfisher, Hemlock & Silver. This is a reimagining of the Snow White fairytale with an older main character and a sassy cat. I really liked the main character and many of the secondary ones. The setting and main story were also good, it just needed a faster pace.
A review for the newest psychological thriller by Lisa Jewell. Don’t Let Him in is about a man who isn’t all that he appears to be. This is the story about how the women in his life bring about his downfall. Told from various points of view with a full cast of narrators, this audiobook was a delight to listen to.
