Reviews and Comments

The story of this trilogy is good - kept me interested enough to keep reading - but the execution needed more work. It's tricky to negotiate a story with an ensemble cast, where the perspective changes frequently, and it wasn't always flawless. Also if one of your main characters is trans and I don't realise that until halfway through book 3 (it's referred to directly, but only in Brazilian Portuguese), then maybe you're being a bit too subtle about it - epecially if she's a princess.

I'm still going to read the last book though.

This felt a bit clunky, like the writing lurched from character to character at times, maybe it needed better editing. I was hoping I would remember more details about the first book as I went, but I didn't. Thematically this isn't a terribly positive story, so not recommended if you want a happy or cheerful read.

This was very sweet. Magical realism, with young kids and a healthy dose of queer representation.

Argh now how long will we have to wait for the next book?

Pretty excited to start reading this, I didn't even know they had a new book in the works until it was released.

Simply filthy ;-)

Lovely little urban fantasy MM romance set in Edwardian England. Written by a Canberran!

My partner has read this and given a positive review so hoping for good things.

I nearly noped out of this one when I thought it was a story about how good US libertarianism is, but it turned out to be the reverse so I'm glad I stuck eith it.

Didn't finish how I thought it would, a good brain off story.

Not even sure if this is released yet, but I have a copy as one of JB's patrons. There was a character named after me in the first book of this series but I don't think she'll make a reapparance.

This was interesting. I think I already work like this in broad strokes but it was interesting to see it formalised.

I did not enjoy this one. Maybe some of it was stilted translation, but fundamentally the story is a bit 1950-60s western scifi. Sexism, science worship, etc.

This was lovely, another instalment of the Singing Hills books.
