I want to start by explaining how this is both a personally purchased title, and a title I reviewed as a complimentary copy. I was meant to receive a physical copy of Thomas Wildus and the Book of Sorrows by JM Bergen in the mail, and when I didn’t, I
A beautiful cover, a story inspired by Rossetti’s Goblin Market, and set in the PNW, I was all about The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle. Yet, I don’t really know how I feel about it now that I’ve finished it, other than saying it’s a true and solid three

Starting with a strong burst of excitement, The City’s Son by Tom Pollock immediately places the reader in Filius Viae’s London — a dirty, yet fantastical London where nothing is as it seems. The characters each feel individual, Beth is as different as Pen is as different as Electra is
A small town, a sixteen year old witch surrounded by death, and a court under attack, mix in fantastical creatures and young romance and you’ve got the premise of Accession. Obviously, as someone who enjoys all of the above, I jumped at the chance to read and review this book,
