Story
A young royal from the far north, is sent south for a political marriage in an empire reminiscent of imperial China. Her brothers are dead, her armies and their war mammoths long defeated and caged behind their borders. Alone and sometimes reviled, she must choose her allies carefully. Rabbit, a handmaiden, sold by her parents to the palace for the lack of five baskets of dye, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and gets more than she bargained for.

Timeless Love in the Cold North
Reviewed: 06-26-24
We have ridden shoulder mounted between the Capital and the North not unlike hoopoe to find stories of the previous empress before the crowning of her daughter. Every chapter is prefaced with royal inventory leading into a vignette of decades past- which actually became more interesting of a method as the book progressed. Not a fan of romances in general but this had a balance between sweetness and bitter - as salt would do.

Story
Stories of "The American West" often rely on tired tropes of tough cowboys, but real history is much less straight and narrow and way more interesting. Join host Niecy Nash-Betts for a wild round-up of LGBTQ+ lives that got buried in the dust of popular culture and history, and a look at how queer people continue to shape the West today–from gay rodeo to two-spirit identity to trans truckers.

Dead Boys Tell All
Reviewed: 04-26-24
A writing style that is this incredibly immersive would be a treat in a less violent and cruel setting. The author wants you to feel the pain and fear of all of these children, and you would need to be absolutely soulless to not feel anything in the scenes she creates. The performance lends the prose extra vibrancy despite frequently giving a voice to the dead. Highly recommend for anyone in want of a brutal, heartfelt, ghost story filled with sensory detail.
