Raw, intoxicating, and impactful. Jana Casale writes profoundly about womanhood.

Review: Duckett & Dyer: Dicks for Hire (Duckett & Dyer #1) by G.M. Nair

August 7, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

the cover for Duckett and Dyer which is illustrated in shades of blue with people, a gun and a grappling hook on it.

Duckett & Dyer is a SPSFC Finalist for the 2021-22 batch! I read it as part of the judging process.

I’ll admit right off the bat that I don’t tend to pick up comedies, so I wasn’t sure how I would get on with this one. But, thanks to the SPSFC, I gave it a go and found that actually I quite enjoyed it! Nair knows how to write comedy and kept throwing unexpected surprises at me through every turn.

Review: Locklands (The Founders Trilogy #3) by Robert Jackson Bennett

August 1, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

I’m going to start this review with a bold statement: Robert Jackson Bennett’s The Founders Trilogy is one of the best modern fantasy series. Period. From the opening chapter of Foundryside to the closing paragraph of Locklands, the trilogy astounds with its rich history, evocative worldbuilding, complex magic and fearless character development. Out of every book I have read this year, Locklands hit me the hardest. It rocked me to my core, in the best possible way, and that tangle of emotions has lingered with me ever since.

Review: The Ballad of Perilous Graves by Alex Jennings

July 30, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

The Ballad of Perilous Graves is one of those books that has left me a bit conflicted. On one hand, the worldbuilding is so damn rich, the characters are fun and the incorporation of music into Jennings’ magical realization of New Orleans is impressive. On the other hand, the writing style is tricky to grasp, the pacing is inconsistent and action scenes are downright confusing. That said, there is so much rich imagination and passion in this novel, that New Orleans (or Nola) will surely get you dancin’.

Review: A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows

July 28, 2022 by Ashley Brennan Leave a Comment

The juxtaposition of a culture of repression to one of acceptance set up the foundation for a plot rich in mystery and political intrigue. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoyed “Winter’s Orbit” by Everina Maxwell, also published by Tor in 2021. Tor is understanding what readers want. Written in an elegant prose, A Strange and Stubborn Endurance features a world rich in depth and filled with lush descriptions that readers will melt over.
