Luckily there are many different starting points depending on your tastes!

On Lavenders Tides for a found family adventure inspired by Pokemon, starting out with low stakes that gradually increase as the story opens up, about how governmental/corporate institutions fail us and what we owe each other as a community ~

Flesh Eater for my off-kilter version of a quest fantasy, about a group of misfits in a fascistic state and unwieldy magic, with a dash of queer romance ~

The Narrows or Baby Bird for some gnarly but emotionally rich horror ~

And Carapace for surreal, absurd body horror satire about toxic relationships and capitalism ~(less)

I'm just glad I got the entries that are in the back of each Jekua book, at least! So it's not in the cards right now but never say never...(less)

ARC received from Netgalley

A truly harrowing tale that is sprinkled with enough of Marlon James's style of (oftentimes dark) humor to prevent the overall experience from being a hugely depressing slog, which also emphasizes the characters' humanity a

Much like Schoenbrun's films (which I love), there is an extra layer here that I don't know if I am fully grasping, but it doesn't stop me from feeling these emotions and being fully captivated by the narrative and its sprawling cast of characters.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC ~

Possibly my favorite book of CJ Leede's so far.

For starters, I loved the writing style, which feels distinctly different from her other work. The prose here is terse and repetitive, but in an obviously intentional

Quotes by Travis M. Riddle  (?)

“Fuck y’all,” Sophia grimaced. “I’m leaving.”
Travis M. Riddle, The Narrows

“It would be a hell of an advantage if he could make the other Summoner shit their pants right at the start of a battle. Talk about a distraction.”
Travis M. Riddle, A Fracture in the Qwisdeep

“When he got angry, or nervous, or regretful, or—the list went on—Oliver would imagine conversations in his head with people. He’d go through what he wanted to say to them but probably never would, or how he wished he’d handled something in retrospect. Over the past two years, he held a significant number of these conversations with Noah. He’d lay in bed at night, tossing and turning, thinking about what he wanted to say to his friend. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like a need than a want. But he never said those things, and now he was never going to say those things. They would remain boiling frustrations in his head, bubbling over, threatening to spill out.”
Travis M. Riddle, The Narrows
