An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows
An Accident of Stars is one of the most ambitious political commentaries that I have read, set in a distinctive portal fantasy.

Star Quest Academy – Book Review
Doesn’t feel that brand new, possibly has lots of similarities to other works (someone on another platform mentioned Harry Potter, can’t confirm though), but it was a fun ride.

This slow burn, second chance, sapphic romance was an odd choice for me. Based on Pride and Prejudice, a book I am on record disparaging, I was prepared to dislike this book. Strongly. My initial hopes were that I may tolerate this novel and I feel honour-bound to stress this point. I did not expect…
