Audiobook Review: The Lost Sun by Tessa Gratton

I hope more people to discover and read this book, because I thought it was fantastic. The world-building is fresh, the premise unique, and the writing polished. It stand above most mythology-based urban fantasy that I’ve read.

Curioser and Curioser: The Curiosities: A Collection of Stories

I’m not generally a fan of short stories. They tend to leave me unsatisfied. Fortunately, The Curiosities: A Collection is so much more than just a book of short stories. The tales grew out of Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff’s collaboration as The Merry Sisters of Fate, a blog where they write in… Continue reading Curioser and Curioser: The Curiosities: A Collection of Stories
