@GreatBigTable@mastodon.social can’t remember if it was last year but I finally read Wizard of Earthsea and it was SO GOOD!

@GreatBigTable@mastodon.social Hench by Natalie Zina Walschott This book turns the superhero genre on its head. It's deeply human, and angry, and full of heart, and funny as hell. And I can't wait for the next one.

@GreatBigTable@mastodon.social #Oathbound, by Tracey Deonne. Book 3 of the #Legendborne cycle. It's YA fantasy, and it's a fascinating and engaging story of a teenage girl figuring out how to master powers that make her an outcast from multiple societies. It explores intersectionality, generational trauma, and societal racism through the lens of a present-day teenage girl who has inherited the magic powers of King Arthur and the responsibility to save the Earth from invading demons. I couldn't put it down!

@GreatBigTable@mastodon.social RJ Barker's Wyrdwood series. I read the first two and the third one came out and I haven't read it yet. It is a classic anti-hero story, with an interesting world based on cognisant, and possibly malevolent, nature. The characters, and their abilities are also interesting

@GreatBigTable@mastodon.social “Travel Light” by Naomi Mitcheson. A philosophical little peripatetic tale with a wonderful heroine and interesting views on dragons. Inspired “This Is How You Lose the Time War.”

@GreatBigTable@mastodon.social Little, Big by Crowley was long, but worth it. It's the kind of book that makes you believe in magic and found family as hope, imo. The Works of Vermin was weird and glorious. It's also possibly the only book I've read that is a mobius strip. Eye of a Little God is actually horror, but not too horrific. It's also queer (both definitions) and made me cry. Catchpenny was a voice-y urban fantasy that kept me guessing the whole way to the end. The end was really spectacular.
