Review: A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske

This masterful queer historical fantasy romance is a hot contender for my favourite book of the year… It’s getting crowded at the top!

Review: The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa

I simply couldn’t resist this translated tale of a talking cat who recruits a teenage bookshop owner to help rescue books!

Review: Waiting for a Scot Like You

I had an enormous amount of fun with the first two books in the Union of the Rakes series, and the final book does not disappoint!

Review: Love is a Rogue by Lenora Bell

This fun historical romance is my first read from Lenora Bell, but it won’t be my last!

Review: Wendy, Darling by AC Wise

This dark reworking of/sequel to Peter Pan really took me by surprise – powerful and unsettling, this is not the Wendy Darling you think you know!

Review: A Marriage Made in Secret

Another gorgeous historical romance from Jenni Fletcher – this time, full of medieval intrigue!

Review: Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki

This is a sweet and heartfelt tale about humanity, music, doughnuts, acceptance, and more – it combines a whole mix of extremely strange elements into one lovely, if unusual, story.

Anyone who’s been reading this blog for a while will know that one of my absolute favourite genres is fantasy of manners – Regency or Victorian inspired fantasy which takes all those balls and tearooms and adds magic – and I’m happy to say that The Midnight Bargain is a new favourite in the genre!

Review: The Unbroken by CL Clark

The Unbroken has been receiving so much hype in my circles, and I can see why! Unfortunately, though, it wasn’t quite my cup of tea…
