ARC Review: Witch King by Martha Wells

Today’s review is about WITCH KING by Martha Wells. This is Wells’s first fantasy in over a decade. It features demons, witches, and a float trip on a magicked broken down barge. All this is amidst a who-dunnit murder of the main demon, Kai, and why.

Book Review: A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

Today’s review is for A SPINDLE SPLINTERED by Alix E. Harrow. It’s a novella-length retelling of The Sleeping Beauty set in the present day. One of my favorite things about the physical copy is the illustrations used throughout from Arthur Rackham.

ARC Review: Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher

I hope everyone had a good weekend! Today I have an advanced reading copy (ARC) review of THORNHEDGE by T. Kingfisher. This is a retelling of the classic western fairytale, The Sleeping Beauty. Only this isn’t from the princess’s point of view, but from that of the often-maligned fairy of the story.
