Review: The Luminaries by Susan Dennard

Posted on March 1, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Like many other Susan Dennard fans, I have been counting down the days to the release of The Luminaries. The excitement began a couple of years ago when Susan Dennard read a choose-your-own-adventure of sorts on Twitter, with readers getting to vote on Winnie’s actions. It was a blast – it was also something we all needed at the time (think about the timing). Continue reading →

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

Posted on February 14, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

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 →
