Book Review – The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri
This is one of the most stunning books I’ve ever read.It’s a statement about stories themselves and how they can be used as weapons. It’s a fight against governments acting in greed and in their own self interest and not that of the people. It’s also standing against othering and colonialism and racism and so many other things.

Book Review – The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow
I would honestly read Alix’s shopping list at this point. There’s a point 100 pages in that literally had me gasping and losing my mind and from then on I was completely hooked.

Book Review – Some Like it Cold by Elle McNicoll
I loved the concept of this - and as most of the romance I read is adult, I was looking forward to this being a YA take on it. However, I'm going to be honest, I very nearly DNF'd this and I'm so glad I didn't.

Book Review – Miss Beeton’s Murder Agency by Josie Lloyd
This was very implausible but a lot of fun! It was nice that the police weren’t too bumbling for once, and Alice was one heck of a sleuth.

Book Review – Mindbreaker by Kate Dylan
I really enjoyed this trip back to the world of Mindwalker! I wasn’t super sure at first as I hadn’t realised it was following a new character.

Book Review – Crucible of Chaos by Sebastien de Castell
I am a huge fan of Sebastien's work, and the Greatcoats series is honestly banging. So I was most excited when I found out Estevar was getting his own book!

Book Review – The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones
I was apprehensive about this, as it sounded (and is) very Welsh, but is written by an American. Well, whatever magic Lloyd-Jones employed to do this worked! It is stunningly atmospheric and beautiful.

Book Review – All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody and C L Herman
I simply adored the first book in this series, it is dark and tricksy, and just generally great fun to read. This finale to the duology is no different, I am happy to say! I'm honestly already tempted to reread them both :D

Book Review – Bronte Tempestra and the Lightning Steeds by Bex Hogan
Bex is one of my favourite young adult authors and I was so excited to see her branch out into middle grade books - especially as Bronte is aimed at the younger end of that category, something I don't see a lot of. Plus it's illustrated and there are maps! I always love to see those.

Book Review -The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden
This just continues to prove to me that anything Katherine writes I will read with great abandon.
