Review: Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan

Posted on August 16, 2019 by

Turning Darkness Into Light is the latest novel from Marie Brennan, and it’s set in the world of her other novel, Memoirs of Lady Trent.

Review: The Fire Opal Mechanism (Gemworld #2) by Fran Wilde

Posted on June 4, 2019 by

The Fire Opal Mechanism is the second novel in the Gemworld series. I was a little conflicted about this novella. On the one hand – I desperately wanted to see more of this world.
