A witch, a lake creature, a hobgoblin, and a fae dog team up to save Britain from an ancient evil.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fun romp through British folklore, even if the writing style wasn’t quite for me. Review on Pagebound, GR, etc.

of the e-ARCs I’ve read so far this year, these are the two I’ve pre-ordered (and you should too!) because they are fantastic and I want them on my shelf where I can re-read them anytime

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ah I went to claim the art and it says “Thank you for entering! You will be notified if you are selected as a winner.” :(

I should have😭😭 I’ve never unsubscribed from anything so fast in my life but it would be silly to buy another copy before I even know if I like it. So I’ve just put it on my shelf without the dust cover lol

I really can’t believe this. And what’s crazier is I went to the artist’s IG page and none of their other fanart is like this?? I’m not keen on the style personally but like this is the worst example of their work

Mags🌈📚 (queer reads for speculative fiends) @magpiperreviews.bsky.social · Apr 23

It actually is but it’s not really “reversible” in the sense that it’s just art and not really a cover

Tried to take a pic:

I hate it so much. Luckily it looks okay without the dust jacket tho so that’s how it is on my shelf now

That’s just not where legs go

My first and last Owlcrate monthly edition😭😭😭 can any artist out there explain to me what is happening with the blonde girl’s ass??? Looking at this is SO uncomfortable.

Also is this eco-fantasy? Title seems like a Rachel Carson ref?

I had no idea what this was about when I started listening.

The audiobook narration was godawful but the story itself was a delight. Made eyeballs sound real delicious.

I finally got through this absolute tome. While it was definitely too long and a few plot points were rather silly, overall I quite enjoyed this read. The scene where the chef in Suus makes him the fancy meal?? Beautiful.

Full review on Goodreads etc.
