Wonderful turns of phrase, but Miranda's self absorbed delusions nearly had me DNF'ing. I have hopes she will move past this.

A fun book, a very neat world - plot development continues to be driven by brute force however.

Concept: 90%
World building: 95%
Antagonist: 25%

Loving the world building! Still working to get into the story

Still on the fence about this one. I like the writing, the world, the set up. I just can't entirely decide if I like Nora.

At the 20% mark I was somewhat irritated by the main character, who honestly seems to try her VERY best not to go anywhere or solve any of her problems. However, 8% later I start to see the reasons, and the reason the author has approached the story this way.

Lively and lovely a novella about the power of big changes no one else can see.

An enjoyable book and a very creepy one so far. Horrific and amusing in equal parts the largest flaw is the missing opportunity to discuss the gender spectrum. With all women falling asleep like this it was a perfect opportunity to at least mention the diversity of what makes a human a man, a woman, or otherwise. People are born intersex as often as people are born redheaded. Even a small town would have a few.

Crazy and wonderful worldbuilding. Excellent book, if one ignores the sex scene.

The Ones Who Stay and Fight - 3 stars. Thoughtful, direct, more an essay than a story.
The City Born Great - 5 stars. Wow. Just loved this one - the power in it, the climax!
Red Dirt Witch - 3 stars.
L'Alchimista - 4.5 stars. Sheer fun and attitude and mouthwatering descriptions of food. Much fresher take on the mysterious stranger at the door.
