The Ill-Made Mute by Cecilia Dart-Thornton | book review
3/5 stars
Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle | book review
Okay, I've got to go 3 stars for this one. In short, this was a great story with a really interesting magic system, but was let down by its unnecessary length. I was tempted to DNF this early on, but was so curious about how the story would develop that I committed to it.
