Oooo this was a creepy, horror-filled good time. How much would it cost for you to play hide and seek for a week? Already hiding from a childhood filled with sorrow, Mack knows exactly how much it would cost: whatever the mysterious organizers are paying.

Iron Widow Review
I will be loudly and aggressively recommending Iron Widow until I get this book (and that ENDING) out of my system (which, I don't see happening this millennium). Xiran Jay Zhao has written a unique and fascinating world where the people of Huaxia, under siege from the Hunduns, send young men into battle in Chrysalises.

Misrule
The only thing that I didn't like about this book is the fact that I can only read it for the first time, once. The worst part about finally breaking a curse is when, surprise! a new one is right there to fill that space. Kind of like when you finally clear your inbox and then everyone starts replying all back.

Little Bird
Little Bird is the book you wish you had on hand the last time you found yourself in the aftermath of a great loss. I initially wanted to read Little Bird because of that gorgeous cover and it was wonderfully fitting that I finished this book at midnight. Horror readers will likely think this one is a little tame, but this is the perfect book for those looking to dip their toe into horror without having to sleep with the light on.

The cover reveal of A Far Wilder Magic stopped my scrolling and I am SO GLAD it did. This book gave me serious gothic fantasy vibes as Saft created a rich and complex world filled with curmudgeons, outsiders, alchemy, and a dog named Trouble.
