See @garykwolfe’s review of SUNSET AT ZERO POINT by @[email protected]: “Stålenhag’s wonderful pictures… add an almost cinematic quality to the mystery... the Black Fallow reveals less about itself than what it reveals about us” https://t.co/cnwRWvUsR6

[Locus Magazine @locusmag]

Read @garykwolfe’s review of @nnedi.bsky.social: “even though THE DAUGHTER WHO REMAINS is putatively the conclusion of the series, Okorafor does leave herself a window for further explorations of this fascinating and increasingly complex world” https://t.co/2xEvXljE08

Explore @garykwolfe’s review of NINE GOBLINS by @tkingfisher.com: “Kingfisher’s narrative voice is as delightfully chatty as ever… those who enjoy the playfulness and sharp wit of those novels will not be disappointed.” https://t.co/CxrrIGTk6d

[Locus Magazine @locusmag]

Explore @garykwolfe’s review of LETTERS FROM AN IMAGINARY COUNTRY by @theodoragoss.bsky.social: “her voice remains entirely her own, ranging from clear-eyed lyricism to mordant wit... with more than a trace of melancholy and an unabashed sense of romance” https://t.co/p8Fh3E1mNG
