Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk – Review
It is a great mix of murder mystery, historical sapphic romance, fantasy / mythology blend and family issues.
Unbound by Michael R. Miller – Review
I would definitely highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys an epic fantasy that feels like one of the classics, but has a way more modern and quick style!

Beyond Sundered Seas by David Green
My favourite bit of the book is the back and forth in my own mind, about who I actually want to see win, or not. Because some of the "heroes"…
Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang – Review
The main themes are not just a gripping new world with lots of magic and a university, but also misogyny, colonialism, racism, exploitation, faith, guilt, injustice, and more.
