Review: The Luminaries by Susan Dennard

Like many other Susan Dennard fans, I have been counting down the days to the release of The Luminaries.

Review: The Cage of Dark Hours by Marina J. Lostetter

I love fantasy series like The Five Penalties. The Cage of Dark Hours is dark, tense, gritty, and so brilliant. It made for a suspenseful read, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. In a way, diving back into Krona’s world felt a lot like coming home. Though I say that, I’m not so certain I would enjoy living here (or that I would survive…). Continue reading
