Staff Reviews
Book Review: Her Majesty’s Royal Coven
It’s a really unique take on modern witches and how today’s societal values would impact a secret society of witches and their covens
Book Review: Parade
Cusk doesn’t seek to create a world – instead, she creates a network that projects out into ours, requiring the reader’s own interpretation.
Book Review: Girl, Woman, Other
Many flowing plot threads weave through each other, eventually tying together in the most satisfying, incredible way.
Book Review: James
The tender – and revelatory – nature of the pair’s relationship is just one of this incredible novel’s many expertly evoked complexities.
