Review: Driftwood by Marie Brennan
Driftwood by Marie Brennan is a bit of an odd book. The world of Driftwood is fragmented, remnants of different worlds. It’s a place where lands go when they die. And if people are unlucky enough to be present when the land dies, they’ll get transported too. The story itself is fragmented too, but with Read More

ARC Review: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopdia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
