“The Raven Boys” Is Pretty Much As Good As Everyone Says It Is
True to its eclectic central ensemble, The Raven Boys, the first entry in the much-beloved Raven Cycle quartet by Maggie Stiefvater, is a study in odd yet illuminating pairings. Eerie paranormal atmosphere with a small-town, (mostly) working class point of departure. A messy present against a legendary past. Witches, ghosts, tombs and rituals…all explored in … Continue reading ““The Raven Boys” Is Pretty Much As Good As Everyone Says It Is”
Let’s Talk Bookish: How Many Books Is Too Many?

An Excellent Romance and a Middling Mystery in “The Inheritance Games”
It’s a pitch straight out of Knives Out. Or, barring that, a common American fantasy. Avery Grambs, a working-class teenager with a penchant for actuarial science, struggles to make ends meet, until, one day, an eccentric billionaire bites it, and leaves her his entire fortune. Except, in The Inheritance Games, it comes with a caveat: … Continue reading “An Excellent Romance and a Middling Mystery in “The Inheritance Games””

“The Gilded Ones” Is A Viciously Good Fantasy Debut
In a quiet village on the edge of an empire, a girl carries demon blood. She doesn’t know it, of course––Deka, like every other girl in Otera, hopes she’ll be found to bleed red and “pure.” The Gilded Ones opens on the day all of this is to be revealed, and as such things tend … Continue reading ““The Gilded Ones” Is A Viciously Good Fantasy Debut”
