All the Horses of Iceland review

May 13, 2022May 9, 2022Leave a comment

All the Horses of Iceland, by Sarah Tolmie (historical fiction/fantasy, magical realism; March 1, 2022) This little book took me by surprise. More the length of a novelette or novella, it's written in the style of an Icelandic saga. For me, reading it lands somewhere between Tale of Genji and Julie Otsuka's The Buddha in … Continue reading All the Horses of Iceland review

Her Dreadful Will review

April 12, 2022April 10, 2022

Do these words check any boxes for you? Slow-burn romance. Spice. Witches. Southern gothic. Modern technology meets magic society. Opposites attract.

March 15, 2022March 14, 2022

If you’re looking for romantic fantasy where plot comes first, action is second and romance claws it’s way into third, with princesses, fae vs. humans, trolls (ahem, trolldefolk) and arranged marriage (or if you thought yes to any one of these things), might I enthusiastically suggest this Bride of the Shadow King review? Read on! … Continue reading Bride of the Shadow King review
