Review: Reclaim the Stars Anthology

Posted on January 5, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Who can resist an anthology full of magical realism and stars? I certainly can’t. Reclaim the Stars consists of seventeen short stories, all of which are centered around one main subject: space and the stars beyond. That is not the only element tying these stories together, as they all feature the Latin American diaspora. In other words – this is an absolute must-read! Continue reading →

Review: Serendipity by Marissa Meyer and Various Authors

Posted on December 17, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Serendipity is the latest anthology that caught my attention. I’ll confess that it was originally the Jane Austen fan in me that dragged my eyes to this cover. However, the lead and contributing authors were more than enough to keep me invested. Continue reading →

Posted on December 13, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

When S.A. Chakraborty concluded The Daevabad Trilogy, I thought that was it – that it was all over. Then she hinted at something else she was working on from this world, and my hopes lifted right back up into the stratosphere. And here it is – The River of Silver, an anthology of short stories set around the main series of events. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: Blocked by Seanan McGuire

Posted on August 20, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

The short stories within Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series are plentiful, for which I am grateful. Blocked is my most recent read and the first short story to give Antimony Price the lead. This is set following the second novel in the series – so before Antimony even got her own novel. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: What was I meant to do? By Seanan McGuire

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

What was I meant to do? Is another short story written by Seanan McGuire, and it fits in her InCryptid series. It’s set between the events of the first and second novels (Discount Armageddon and Midnight Blue-Light Special), but it doesn’t follow any of the main characters that we’re used to. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: The Lay of the Land by Seanan McGuire

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series is far from over, and I’m far from getting through all of her short stories! Next up on the list is The Lay of the Land, the first Alice-centric short in this world. Alice is the daughter of Fran and Jonathan Healy and a familiar character to those that have read the main series. Continue reading →
