Story4.5 out of 5 stars 485
In the ancient kingdom of Dumnonia, there is old magic to be found in the whisper of the wind, the roots of the trees, the curl of the grass. King Cador knew this once, but now the land has turned from him, calling instead to his three children. Riva can cure others, but can’t seem to heal her own deep scars. Keyne battles to be accepted for who he truly is—the king’s son. And Sinne dreams of seeing the world, of finding adventure.

Beautiful Genre-Defying Story
- By Joelle Trayers on 11-22-21

- By: Lucy Holland

Disappointed
Reviewed: 05-10-25
I loved Keyne’s and Myrdhin/Mori’s trans and gender queer storylines. The book would have been so much stronger if they had been the only narrators. Honestly, the women’s stories (besides Gwen whose storyline is very thin) center men who for the most part ruin the lives of these “foolish” women. But these men still get their redemption arc. Or at the very least their freedom. I get the Y.A. criticism, mainly because of the general lack of character development. The characters in Sistersong don’t feel like full human beings.

Sapphic Love
Reviewed: 11-21-24
This was a really fun read. The two main characters felt like whole human beings. And who doesn’t love a well written sapphic love story. I enjoyed this.

Story5 out of 5 stars 379
Vampires have come to Lancre, but they're not what you'd expect. Sure, they drink blood and view humans as dinner, but they're modern and sophisticated. They've got style and fancy waistcoats. And they're not a bit afraid of garlic. The Magpyr family are out of the casket and want a bite of the future. But they haven't met the neighbours yet. Between them and Lancre stand a coven of four - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat and young Agnes - and they don't take kindly to murderous intruders....

Indira Varma 🪄
Reviewed: 07-04-24
Indira Varma elevates this series to a whole new level. Each character is clearly identifiable and sounds even more real than I imagined one narrator could pull off. Amazing!!

The Opera House in Ankh-Morpork is home to music, theatrics and a harmless masked Ghost who lurks behind the scenes. But now a set of mysterious backstage murders may just stop the show. Agnes Nitt has left her rural home of Lancre in the hopes of launching a successful singing career in the big city. The only problem is, she doesn't quite look the part. And there are two witches who would much rather she return home to join their coven.

Story5 out of 5 stars 315
Meet our heroine, Mo. She’s every dyke’s dream—or so she’s been told by her kind and supportive friends. She’s shy but passionate, politically aware, as committed to her egalitarian all-womyn’s softball team as she is to her volunteer work at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center. So why can’t she find a girlfriend? Could it possibly be because she’s more judgmental than Gertrude Stein and more self-sabotaging than Bojack Horseman?
