Book Review: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
I first read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle when I was in middle school. This is a time when I started exploring the library on my own and was finding myself ending up in the SFF section often. I read A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels alongside works like The Chronicles of Narnia … Continue reading Book Review: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball
So, this one is a little unusual for me to review in that it is a non-fiction book. It also happens to be written by a friend of mine, so I'll get that out of the way right up front. I picked this one up to read for my fantasy related non-fiction square for the … Continue reading Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball
Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer
I'm struggling with a way to begin this review that won't sound like I'm incoherently babbling about how much I loved reading this because, for me, it's just that great a book. So, I'll start in the usual way, with a short summary of the book. The Oddling Prince takes place in the kingdom of … Continue reading Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer
