Lydia Crow is a member of one of the four magical families that rule London, except she has no real power, so has grown up outside of the family. She’s managed to get a pretty good life going up in Aberdeen as an investigator, but a small snafu on the job makes it necessary to […]

Every Heart a Doorway – Seanan McGuire

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

Nancy has arrived at a very particular boarding school – it’s for children that have fallen through doors into other realms, and for whatever reason, have had to come back. Their families often don’t understand them, so Eleanor West, herself a child that went through a door, has created a safe space for them. Their

Written in Red – Anne Bishop

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

This is a really interesting world – the terre indigene existed long before humans, and control all the lands. They have compounds called Courtyards within each human city where they can interact with humans, but they are fully in charge of those interactions. Meg is a blood prophet, which means she’s been kept in isolation

The Copper Promise – Jen Williams

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

This book was advertised as a couple of sell swords go into a haunted labyrinth with a lord, and adventure ensues. Which is technically true, but that’s really the very tip of the iceberg with this story. It’s a way more wide ranging adventure than I initially expected. I can’t say it’s treading any new

Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

This book is set in the Grishaverse, but definitely comes across as grittier than the books in the Shadow and Bone series – those are more fairy tales. This is a heist book. Kaz Brekker has been given the heist opportunity of a lifetime, and each member of the crew he assembles has good reason

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

We’re back in New York City with the modern version of the Greek gods. Selene Desilva (Artemis) and her human partner, Theo Shultz, get thrust right back into the middle of some ritual murders. This time, we find out a sect is trying to resurrect the god Mithras, by killing the other older gods. I

Trail of Lightning – Rebecca Roanhorse

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

A good chunk of the rest of the world is suddenly underwater, but Dinetah (formerly the Navajo reservation) had the forsight to wall itself off, and they’ve managed to survive. The flood has also brought back magic. So we’ve got a fairly standard fare of kickass female protagonist with a past, and smart ass guy
