Reviews and Comments
She/Her. 20s. Most of my reading is trying to keep up with my book club. On my own I like SF/F, trans lit and sapphic romance, as well as some non-fiction about topics I find fascinating, like dance music, videogames, psychoactive substances, computers and the occult. I also try to read theory, classics and more academic works, though I've struggled with that since I was younger. I track my manga reading seperately. My main fedi is currently @throatmuppet@xyzzy.link.

Elise wants to read One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
Elise reviewed Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (Between Earth and Sky, #1)
remarkably well-executed
4 stars
I haven't read enough fantasy since I started reading again to say much that can't be disentangled from my reading experience. I will say: I found the characters interesting, their dynamics more so, and the backdrop of the meso-american inspired fantasy captivating. It was so compelling I finished in one sitting. As soon as the book club for this one wraps, I'm starting the sequel.

Was turned onto Sarah Ahmed by a mutual on fedi. Read a couple of her blog posts and I felt sparks fly in my mind. Challenging to read, insightful, cutting, and it feels like she gives words to so much of what I feel. Need more of her writing in my life
