The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E Harrow
★★★★★
(Spoiler Free)
It’s safe to say I inhaled this book on my lengthily morning commute to work. Even at thirty pages long, this may well be one of my top reads of this year - if of all time. This, I think, is a testament to Alix E. Harrow’s ability to craft such a phenomenal narrative within the confines of a mere 30 pages. I simply adored this.
The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig
★★★★★
(Spoiler Free)
Rachel Gillig has done it again - of course she did, she’s Rachel Gillig. My initial Goodreads review read:
I am just beyond words - this was utterly stunning and completely beautiful. I am absolutely floored.
And though it may have taken me a few days to find the words to discuss this book, I am still absolutely floored. Rachel Gillig's The Knight and the Moth is a captivating gothic fantasy following Sybil, a skilled diviner, and Rodrick, a heretical knight, as they uncover dark secrets within a world where gods, gargoyles, and elemental hamlets intertwine. My main advice for the Knight and the Moth is to go into it with the view of a Fantasy book with a subplot of romance rather than a ‘Romantasy’. I can certainly say it’s all the better for it.
