The book follows Maggie Hoskie in Dinétah, the post-global-warming former Navajo reservation, as she fights monsters arisen from myth. This is an #ownvoices title that emphasizes Diné heritage and culture, and a rollicking good read. Geekly, …

The Big Water came, bigger than anyone expected. Dire climate change warnings weren’t dire enough, and much of the world either drowned or descended into chaos. But the Diné—the proper title for the Navajo people—survived behind a vast wall made from magic as much as brick. The magic that had once only existed in whispers …
Archivist Wasp was one of my favorite books of 2015 and up there for one of my favorite new fantasy titles, period. It was such a rough, raw book, the literary equivalent of a rebel yell, and not just because it was a debut. Furious and dreamlike and achingly emotional, it was everything I never …

Anyway, Ann Leckie, author of the Ancillary Justice trilogy, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke awards, and all-around excellent human being, is delving into fantasy! Her new …

Bright We Burn (Kiersten White) – July 10 – WHY is this trilogy ending? I mean, I know it has to. It’s not a series. Also, it’s based on historical figures who are extremely dead. (Well, one of them is a reinterpretation of Vlad Tepes, basis for Dracula, so maybe it could go on a …
Sometimes, and not on purpose, a book will just migrate its way down my TBR pile. It’s inevitable, I suppose.
