Daughter of the Dark 🖤

🌎 Peruvian-inspired fantasy
👹 Demons

Gorgeous Mediterranean-inspired setting, sapphic romance, mirror magic & some genuinely interesting refugee/immigration themes. But the pacing and characterization really didn't work for me.

I got one of my favorite horror books of the year.

🧬 Speculative biology
🩸 Body horror
😱 Every phobia imaginable
The Void is one of the coolest settings I've read in years.

History rarely remembers women like Anat.

The Flower of Canaan is a slow-burning historical novel with one of the strongest female character arcs I've read this year.

New review: Sea of Charms by Sarah Beth Durst (Spellshop #3)
Slow, cozy fantasy about a woman who leaves a partner and rebuilds her life at sea. Warm, gentle, and easy to sink into.

Songs of the Dead is Sanderson writing heavy metal, grief, and found family into a haunted London and somehow making it all feel personal instead of epic. Messy in places, but emotionally it lands exactly where it should.

Great worldbuilding, fun banter, an adorable creature companion, and a genuinely unique premise. I wanted a little more breathing room in the final act, but I'd happily return to this world in a sequel.

This book made me angry. Which is exactly what it was supposed to do. #Feminist fiction at its finest.

Finished The Unicorn Hunters ARC. Katherine Arden’s prose is still beautiful, but this one demands attention if you’re not already fluent in the period.

A fiercely researched, gritty look at 18th-century North Carolina and indigenous survival. Written by a Native American author, the cultural authenticity elevates the entire story.

My first T. Kingfisher and definitely not what I expected. Slow, atmospheric, and unexpectedly centered on female resilience. Loved it.

Potternomics by Brian O’Roark explores Harry Potter through economics—trade barriers crush growth, and magic can’t fix financial mismanagement. Sharp, clever, and full of nerdy insights.

Deliberate pacing, morally gray protagonist, and uneasy power dynamics.

The Red Winter is a dark, funny, gory, lyrical adult fantasy with demons, mythology, monster hunting. Five stars. Give me more Sebastian Grave immediately.

@goodreads Songs of the Dead - Brandon Sanderson/ Peter Orullian. June release! <3

[Deviant Quill Reviews @DeviantQuill]

Keeper of Lost Children is a powerful historical novel inspired by real postwar adoption efforts and a forgotten chapter of history. Heavy, humane, and worth the time.

House of Spells and Secrets blends cozy gothic vibes, Irish folklore, and inherited magic, but slow pacing, repetition, and a weak climax hold it back. Strong concept, uneven execution.

My favorite books of 2025:
Fantasy as comfort, feminist fiction as fuel, and one horror novel that made me regret my life choices.
No rankings, no neutrality, just the books that mattered.
