Winger by Andrew Smith cover

Winger

…rely seen a character grow and mature so much. Smith’s ability to create a compelling protagonist spills over into his secondary characters. There’s no sense that Smith skimps on the detail here as there’s realness about them all and the impression that each of them is at the centre of their own story. They’re not all sympathetic (someone’s got to be the bad guy!) but Winger is their story as much as Ryan Dean’s; from conflicted Annie to only-out-… Continue reading

Fire World

…ering and Aunts; resonating with science-fiction cleanliness but also with underlying organic elements, if that makes sense. The first chapter is wonderfully filled with tension and mystery, setting expectations for the whole novel. I loved the Firebirds, a Phoenix-like species new to the series, and the Librarium, an old, huge, living building filled with books. Both were fascinating to read about, and ever so wonderful to picture! Whilst Dark Fi… Continue reading

Last Leaves Falling by Sarah Benwell cover

The Last Leaves Falling

…lity always has fascinated us. It fascinates Sora, too, as he struggles to comprehend what his life will mean as it reaches its end. But between the poems of dying samurai – beautiful poems – and friends newly acquired, he manages to rediscover what it means to be a living, breathing human being. With an ill and non-white main character, The Last Leaves Falling is obviously diverse, but Benwell’s success lies in authentically replicating the conve… Continue reading

The Case of the Good-Looking Corpse by Caroline Lawrence cover

The Case of the Good-looking Corpse

…d readers will have a better idea of. Again, Lawrence inhabits her protagonist wonderfully, and the book has a fantastic voice (it is told in first person from P.K.’s point of view, complete with a western twang that really brings characters and settings to life) that makes it a delight to read and easy to imagine. P.K.’s character, with all his/her “foibles and eccentricities” is absolutely fantastic and idiosyncratic; (s)he is convincing and dev… Continue reading

The Whispering Skull by Jonathan Stroud cover

The Whispering Skull

…sents an alternate London with steampunk overtones. An amicable and entertaining read that can be enjoyed without too many goose bumps, even when read at midnight!… Continue reading

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell cover

Carry On

…mporary coming out novels still dominate LGBT fiction, and Carry On is realistic without dwelling or relying on the drama of coming out to drive its narrative. That being said, Simon’s slow awakening to his sexuality is somewhat…well, slow: apparently it’s obvious to everyone except him and the will-he-won’t-he drags its heels a little too long. Carry On’s delight is more comic than it is dark, choosing to gently jibe the world’s bestselling child… Continue reading

Fans of the Impossible Life by Kate Scelsa cover

Fans of the Impossible Life

…sh; Mira’s narrative is perhaps most coherent, being in the third, but the combination of the three completely spoils any sort of consistency Fans of the Impossible Life had to start with. Some poor creative choices mean that Fans of the Impossible Life can only be a mediocre read. Whilst it touches on some engaging themes and characters (Sebby’s rawer, less contrived story is particularly good), the narrative problems of the novel drag the whole… Continue reading

Half Lost by Sally Green cover

Half Lost

…n’t quite feel the same – and it’s unclear why Green made the decision to bump him off (even though it isn’t, you know, by killing him). In any case, the final conflict, when it does arrive, is relatively contained: a raid on the Council of White Witches in England. Nathan, now a super-powerful witch, verges into deus ex machina territory, and it’s hard to believe that he could fail against his adversaries given his insane selection of talents. St… Continue reading
