Gay space princes. Arranged marriage and romantic misunderstandings. Political intrigue. Reader, I jumped at the chance to read this long before the book actually ended up in my hands. I thought I was ready. I was not ready. Please note that this review contains discussion of abuse, and mild spoilers for one character’s backstory.

As Phèdre heads to La Serenissima in search of her answers, she gets a few surprises along the way – both at home and on the road. But what awaits her at her destination? Let’s discuss Kushiel’s Chosen. This week’s discussion contains spoilers for chapters 18 through 30.
Ghosts, haunted houses (and haunting architecture), and urban legends – in a place that isn’t London? It’s time for a trip to an impressively creepy trip to Scotland’s capital city, and I was not prepared.
The Wyrd and Wonder Read-along of the Kushiel novels by Jacqueline Carey returns! We are picking up Kushiel’s Chosen for a group read and some juicy Q&A action. This is a reread for me, but it’s been a while so a lot of my memories of this book are spotty at best. This will be interesting.
I forget. We’re in another one here in Scotland, anyway, and thus we struggle on. As I write this post, however, I’m “enjoying” a week off from work, and so I am catching up on a fair bit of reading! Let’s recap.
Time for a list! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is books we meant to read in 2020 but didn’t; I’m going to share some of the ones that I’m still determined to get around to reading, because let’s face it – it’s not the fault of the books that 2020 was … 2020.
I do love a good rendition of I Waited Forever For This And It Was Worth It. Let’s talk about The Obsidian Tower.
Well, we did it. Time is meaningless and November, much like 2020 as a whole, felt like it lasted far longer than it did at times (let’s hear it for being a key worker), but there was a wonderful shining light called Sci-Fi Month to get me through it, even if I didn’t post nearly as much content as I would have liked. I did get some awesome media consumed, though! Let’s look back…
November is over as I type this, and I can’t believe it’s been a month already, you guys. Everyone did fabulously, and I cannot thank you enough. Let’s look back at the final week’s reviews, read-alongs and interviews!
So my last list for Sci-Fi Month was focused on the best SF I’d read so far this year. Now it’s the turn of some eye-catching science fiction releases I’m looking forward to in 2021!
