Keeper of the Gate by Margaret Feuerman

Keeper of the Gate by Margaret Feuerman

Book#29
Inventive worldbuilding, a ghost grandmother, portals, and some genuinely fascinating ideas. The noblebright setup kept the characters a little too clean for my taste, and I couldn't stay hooked past page 218.

The Crimson Court by Brendan Noble

The Crimson Court by Brendan Noble

Book#28
Gaslamp world, spirit magic, political intrigue, and one of the most quietly inclusive casts I've come across in a while. Drifted more than I'd have liked, and finished it on audio. Many readers will love this.

All That We See or Seem by Ken Liu

All That We See or Seem by Ken Liu

Book#27
Near-future Boston where your AI is useful and your privacy is gone. Sold as a thriller, works better as a futuristic mystery. Layered characters, cool ideas, a protagonist worth following.

To Ride a Rising Storm by Moniquill Blackgoose

To Ride a Rising Storm by Moniquill Blackgoose

Book#26
Dragons, colonialism, and resistance. More action than book one, higher stakes, and a cast that reflects the full spectrum of humanity with quiet ease. Anequs is still a joy, and a new dragon steals every scene.

Book#25

Poisonous trees, stubborn botanists, and dragons who heal one careful step at a time.

Cosy village magic with banter, exploding kettles, and gentle slow burn romance. Strong, warm, and full of heart and some banter.

This book manages a perfect balance: entertaining, playful, and full of heart, while also offering thoughtful commentary on identity, consciousness, and morality.

Book#24

Action hravy tournament chaos, friendships pushed to breaking, and a hero staring straight at his own darkness.

Progression fantasy in space that levels sideways and refuses easy answers. Brutal, hopeful, and impossible to look away from.

Apparently I posted #23 before #22...

Royal visit, whispered conspiracies, & Grace once again stepping straight into trouble.

Cosy historical mystery with quiet strength, subtle rebellion, & a dance. Reliable, comforting & exactly the reset I needed.

Our latest review:

...stepping into a different storytelling tradition and letting it unfold in its own voice. The mix of grounded character work, big concept ideas, and mythic scale left a strong impression on me.

Long time no see! Hope you are all well.

Just popping in to recommend Annie Bot by Sierra Greer.

#booksky #fantasyfaction @authorizedmusings.bsky.social

This was, for all its brevity, a wonderful tale. The premise - hoary sea-dog’s spirit wedged via a traumatic experience into the vessel of a young woman - this duality of souls so well depicted as to make the reader feel uncomfortable 1/2>

Book#23

Magic academy, dragons, hidden risks, & a girl trying to hold everything together while the pressure quietly builds.

Quick, compelling setup with strong series potential. I wanted a bit more emotional depth, but I’m very ready for the full novel.

The Rampart Trilogy is thoughtful without being preachy, emotional without being manipulative, and intelligent without ever feeling cold. It is a series that lingers

Quarter Share by Nathan Lowell A Lego star ship as a prop

Book#21
Quiet competence in space.
Exams passed, skills earned, coffee brewed properly.

A crew built on steady decency and pride in doing a job well. Nothing explodes, but everything slowly clicks into place.

Slice of Life with a dash of trading.

Book#20

Mad nobleman returns to the city that wants him dead, all for a bowl of moosecrab stew.

Wild ideas, soft magic, carnivorous plants and absolute chaos. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes a bit too random for me, but always boldly weird.

Twelve Months by Jim Butcher

Twelve Months by Jim Butcher

Book#18

Grief, survival, and the quiet aftermath of catastrophe. A hollowed hero learning how to exist agqin, one moment at a time, held together by duty, friendship, and stubborn will.

Heavy, raw, and deeply human.

Book#17

War shadows, village and town life, and a harsh world seen through the eyes of a boy who refuses to lose his kindness. Dark events, strong family and community bonds, and a steady voice that keeps the pages turning.

Liches get Scritches by HJ Tolson A skeleton posing with a death plushy and a black cat plushy

Book#16
Cozy dark necromancy with a proud, aloof, fiercely loyal cat narrator.
Slow cultivation start, then gripping fights, deaths, and comebacks.
Cute, deadly, and fun, like a cat cleaning his paws while his enemies sink back into the soil.
