Staff Reviews
Book Review: Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
While it does have a fair share of combat, most conflict is solved without violence, leading to creative and interesting solutions.
Book Review: The Spanish Love Deception
Elena Armas crafts such a sense of comfort in her books, stories you can lose yourself in over a quiet weekend.
Book Review: Tell Me Everything
With moments of necessary darkness, this is a mostly gentle, melancholic story about love in all its forms.
Book Review: Initial D
As a casual manga reader, I found the series was free of some of the intense tropes that have at times alienated me when reading other series.
