7 Favorite Leading Ladies for International Women’s Day

March 8, 2025 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

It is International Women’s Day and in honor of that I thought of listing 7 of my favorite leading ladies written by some of my favorite female authors across recent SFF! These characters are all different examples of womanhood and inspiring in their own respective ways.

Review: The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

June 30, 2024 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

With The Spellshop, Durst brings us a tale of bravery and change in the face of life altering events and she does so through characters that are endlessly relatable by virtue of highlighting how we all are but an echo chamber of all those who came into our lives and left something behind, all the events that shaped us into who we are, and all those feelings that we sort through each day regardless how ugly or good they might be. And, finally, this is a book about how sometimes settling or even languishing into certain roles is more dangerous than squaring your shoulders and trying the daunting thing.

Captivating First Lines Pt. 2

April 28, 2024 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader or listener, I hope you’re enjoying your Sunday! I once again have literary appetizers for you.

Since I recently received a (very amusing) spam bot comment on one of my old list posts, I thought I might as well make a part 2 given it’s been three years! As you can guess from the title, I felt like listing the very first (or first few) lines from books currently on my shelves, that I found especially captivating for one reason or other. Maybe they’re particularly ominous, or amusing, or intriguing, but in each case, they set the tone incredibly well.

Review: The Bone Maker by Sarah Beth Durst

March 9, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Bone Maker by Sarah Beth Durst really caught my attention in the beginning. The author uses emotion and adventure to bring the reader in and set up the main storyline.
