Staff Reviews
Book Review: The Jellyfish
These poems are agonising with a completely relatable feel. I can’t wait to see what Mason Gilbert brings next.
Book Review: Swimming in the Dark
This is a beautiful and heartrending story of love against all odds and the bittersweet impermanence of life
Book Review: My Policeman
‘My Policeman’ follows the lives of Marion, Patrick and Tom as they navigate the consequences of queer love during an intolerant time.
Book Review: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England
The setting is enjoyable, the plot is downright wild and I am in love with some of the concepts that Sanderson throws at the wall.
