Picky about prose, obsessed with worldbuilding. AuADHD + fibromyalgia. I hear writing rhythm like you hear music; it's a problem. I read + review queer SFF at everybookadoorway.com! Agender, she/her.

Siavahda commented on nostoat's review of White Hot
This one gets an extra half star for the animal mage and the ferret heist alone. I also really enjoyed the general arc of Nevada's growing power and confidence, and her having to make harder and harder choices about how to maneuver to protect her family. As usual with an Andrews book, the romance is the weakest point for me, but I think Rogan is ALMOST a good love interest for my tastes. I do like parts of this romance arc in ways I just cannot abide Curran and Kate. And as always, I do really love that the FMCs are equally strong, stubborn, badasses in their own rights. The House politics are an area this series really shines as well, I think. They feel really intriguing and gripping. The next audiobook has a huuuuge hold line so we'll see if desire to know what happens next or loving the experience of Graphic Audio wins out for this series

Genderweird Worldbuilding in SFF
This is NOT for books featuring trans or nonbinary protagonists in worlds with gender systems that mimic modern real-world ones. This is for books like Left Hand of Darkness or the Imperial Radch series, where the setting has an invented system of gender and/or sex, or of assigning gender/sex. I'm including interesting-to-me matriarchies (so, not ones that are just our patriarchy but gender-swapped) and gender systems that include male and female but have other genders/sexes too.
Suggestions are extremely welcome!

Upcoming SFF That Needs to Be On Your Radar
One of my special interests is my book calendar...and I see no reason everyone else shouldn't benefit from my obsessing over upcoming books! Made up of a combination of books I've read early (and therefore KNOW are excellent) and ones I'm just plain excited for! Skewing diverse and/or less conventional, Adult with very occasional YA. I will update this constantly, but if you want weekly updates on new releases, check my blog (link in profile). Suggestions welcome but may not always be utilised!
