Night Calls

Bought the full book immediately after enjoying the sample from Book View Cafe!
This magical, period adventure moved along at a quick pace. Plenty of events, but not al all rushed. The language, descriptions and sense of location & time seem spot-on.
It's the first in a series too, so I'm excited to read more.
Books like this are why I love buying and reading indie ebooks!

Brilliant introduction into the fucked up mind of Chuck Wendig.
Scale
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A fascinating and entertaining book about living on a world in a universe where people can come in different scales.
Full review on my website [ https://sohkamyung.github.io/reviews/fiction/2023/20230101-Scale.html ].
The Inconvenient God
Recommended by
sakina
Fabulous and imaginative story in an unusual setting, with themes of oppression, lost language and spirituality. Reminded me of Terry Pratchett, though very different from his work.
All Is Bright
Recommended by

Another beautiful romance novella from Llinos Cathryn Thomas.
The North Wales setting. Bethan's return to her childhood village. Revisiting her feelings about growing up, differences, acceptance are all treated with care and love.
Mali's approach and experiences reflecting back on Bethan's - gently holding up a mirror to her life and what she really wants.
A lovely Christmas read.

In the Sweep of the Bay
Recommended by
sakina
Why do we make the choices we do? Social and family pressures, personal beliefs of our place in society and of how our lives are supposed to be. This is a book that lets you look inside the lives of one family, and gives you the sense of understanding that a bitter or reserved exterior can hide losses that no-one else knows about.
The Healers' Home
Recommended by
kevin
Another beautiful read by S.E. Robertson!
I'm really enjoying this slice-of-life fantasy genre I've only just learned about. The Healers' Home gives us a more stable setting, some new drama as past-acquaintances re-appear, and work to do as Agna and Keifon try and fit in to their new lives.
Family expectations, awkward commitments and trying relationships flesh out this wonderful book.
A Taste of Honey
Recommended by
sakina
Beautiful prose, evocative story, clever book that threw me back on my haunches and made me want to re-read it immediately.
The Naseby Horses
Recommended by
sakina
The Naseby Horses by Dominic Brownlow is a beautiful, haunting read - lots of layers. It deals with families, trauma, and poses questions about the validity of beliefs, be they religious, superstitious or scientific.
Absolutely gorgeous writing.
Airedale
Recommended by
sakina
Gritty, relentless, uniquely West Yorkshire and above all, realistic. Come for the plot, stay for the intense detail, well-drawn characters and well-thought-out political backdrop.
Gold and Jasper
Recommended by

It's absolutely beautiful, with delicate, precise writing that perfectly encapsulates a sense of place, of culture, of magic.
