Carry on, Simon Snow … Rainbow Rowell’s Wayward Son
Okay, this just wasn’t what I expected. I actually kinda liked Rainbow Rowell’s “Carry On”.

Cooney, C.S.E.: Desdemona and the Deep
I loved the world C.S.E. Cooney created here. The goblins, the fairies, everything was so well done. However, the misgendering of a trans character left me with a bad feeling.

Queer Arthurian Legend in Space: Once & Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy
This was … This was not as awesome as it could have been. I mean, it was awesome, kind of, and I’m really looking forward to the sequel, but in parts it was also decidedly not awesome. Yeah, super helpful, I know. So, let’s get into this in greater detail:
