A 27-year-old disoriented introvert. When not swamped with work, I'm most likely reading queer books, browsing Ao3, or looking for new queer shows to watch.

The Saint of Heartbreak by Morgan Dante
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Mostly clear Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Balanced
Immersion: Satisfying, fulfilling experience Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Adequately represents the story Content Warnings: graphic violence, blood, murder, death, child death, mentions of torture, mentions of rape, non-con, suicide/self-harm, consensual sexual scenes, mentions of miscarriage Okay, this was actually really nice. And a lot sadder than I had anticipated. This was really interesting in a way that it reads like a fanfic (of The Divine Comedy), specifically a character study of Lucifer and Judas. Reviewed on |

Eye of the Ouroboros by Megan Bontrager
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Mostly clear Characters: Some more thought out than others
Storytelling: Balanced
Immersion: Satisfying, fulfilling experience Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Adequately represents the story Content Warnings: trauma, grief, alcoholism, graphic violence, blood, death, murder I love the eeriness and otherworldliness of it all. I think the author was able to wield this concept of multiple realities to highlight personal horror, desperation, guilt, and grief. Reviewed on |
