JC Rycroft is a queer fantasy author living and writing on unceded Wadawurrung land in Australia. Their work draws on high and epic fantasy tropes, mixed with a dollop of queer romance, humour and wit, flawed but fabulous feminist heroes and diverse-in-all-the-ways characters, liberally sprinkled with philosophical concepts brought to life. She loves bringing together the apparent contradictions: high theory and silly humour, profound theoretical concerns with a rollicking good story, and ordinary people with unexpected demands to heroism that somehow only they can answer.

A Hired Blade by J.C. Rycroft
"I think the issue with starting a series with a prequel novella—especially a fantasy world—is it’s real hard to connect to any of the characters before it’s just over. Devastating ending that likely will be the cause of this characters trauma but I j" Read more of this review »
The Fires of Longest Night by J.C. Rycroft
"This is my first story by this author, and I did enjoy their writing style, and the humor that was in the background a lot of the time. This read like a story where I am supposed to have more background knowledge than I had as a newbie going into it " Read more of this review »
The Fires of Longest Night by J.C. Rycroft
"Honestly? Of all the books in the series, I liked this one the least. It feels like you've been invited to a party where everyone knows each other and you're an outsider. There was a lot of confusion, heroes, and conflict, but I didn't feel it at all" Read more of this review »

What a sumptuous little feast of a story! Ready yourself for a sapphic fairytale, with curses and murders, and the chance that maybe, just maybe, love might win out in the end.

I so enjoyed spending time with Kolfrosta and Dalla, especially the fairy
