The book we're covering in this post is The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley! First off: I am not sure what I expected going into this book, but I can safely say that it wasn't that I got. This book is weird, in a way that shouldn't work, but ...

Time to fly away with Wings by Terry Pratchett. This book was the conclusion to the truly odd Bromeliad Trilogy. I'm still not certain what I think about the series as a whole, but if you like stories about tiny people stealing vehicles and having existential crises, this will deliver! ...

Gather around, thieves and beggars, for The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant! I have never read Lés Miserables nor seen any of the adaptions of the story, but maybe that's exactly why I enjoyed this reimagining so much. I find that having preconceived ideas about how the characters should ...

We're back in MTG territory with War of the Spark: Forsaken by Greg Weisman. This was the follow-up to War of the Spark: Ravnica, which I read in my quest to learn more about the Magic: The Gathering universe after I joined a Ravnica-themed Dungeons & Dragons group. This book mainly focuses ...
