Review: Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa

A square crop of the front cover art for Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa.
This is the art for the US cover of Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa. It was done by Raphael Lacoste. Original copy found here.

This, friend, is the way the world always ends, has always ended since we have watched it together: with those who Have choosing demise–always demise–for everything but themselves.

Review: Slow Gods by Claire North

A square crop of the front cover of Slow Gods by Claire North.
The square crop for the cover of Slow Gods is annoying, I wish the two words of the title were spaced out just a little closer so they fit in the square frame.

For those who lived; for those who died. For those who fled; for those who stayed behind. For those who sacrificed everything so others might live; for those who are waiting for you and the songs you carry far out in the dark.

Review: I, Medusa by Ayana Gray

A square crop of the front cover of I, Medusa by Ayana Gray.
I rather like the front cover design for I, Medusa. The side portrait of Medusa is particularly striking.

As the world fades, I find myself wondering if perhaps purpose is not a single thing one finds, but rather a thing one finds over and over again. I’m only eighteen, but I’ve already had so many purposes. I have been a mortal girl whose purpose was to marry well. I have been a priestess whose purpose was to serve. I have been a monster whose purpose was to avenge. I find that I’m excited to learn what my next purpose will be.

​And that is enough.
