I think I loved the last bit of this book more than all the rest of it together. What a great ending.

Have loved reading for as long as I can remember. Fantasy (epic and urban) and sci-fi books are my true loves. Actively working to decolonize my bookshelf.

A totally different storyline, disconnected from the first except by the main character (who I adore). So I think you could easily read these in any order. That said, I loved it. These books are like a love letter to the art of the bard.

Chelle finished reading Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
Chelle reviewed Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
Amazing book, not enough ending
4 stars
I really enjoyed this book. The culture of it was in some ways familiar as Jess seeks to appease her family and has to hide a lot of herself from them. But also loved reading a book set in a country not my own, about experiences and mythology unfamiliar to me. I just wish the ending had felt more... full. It was a great ending, don't get me wrong. I'm just, I like that after-bit. I want it to work out and get to SEE it worked out. The ending does make me wonder if she's planning a sequel, maybe.

Loving this so far. There's a lot about Jess's situation with her family that strikes a chord with me.

Chelle reviewed The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
Review of 'The Once and Future Witches' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is not a soft book. This book tugs at the parts of me that survived abusive family, exboyfriends, cancer... That has lost jobs for speaking up against "those jokes".
I adored it. It's about the power women (and yes this book means ALL WOMEN) have when they come together against their oppressor.
I think I need to go read it again...
