LGBT Book Reviews

“A Day of Fallen Night” Is the Most Satisfying Queer and Trans Fantasy Book I’ve Ever Read

The prequel to The Priory of the Orange Tree confirms that Samantha Shannon’s Roots of Chaos series is to queer nerds what The Lord of the Rings is to straight nerds.

It’s complicated (or at least, it’s by design) that underneath structures of capitalism, queer independent media is never intended to survive.

“Moving On” Is a Traumatic Farce Elevated By Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda

Watching Fonda and Tomlin perform is like watching an Olympic athlete or a world-renowned ballerina. They are masters of their craft and it’s awe-inspiring to witness.

Three copies of the cover of The Daughters of Izdihar. A red, orange, and yellow sunset sits above a blue city. The silhouette of a woman in a robe, holding a wand, sits in the middle, between two outlined buildings.
LGBT Book Reviews

“The Daughters of Izdihar” Is Fantastical Queer Feminist Rage

I have seen some angry women in fantasy stories before, but I have never felt the kind of fury pulsating off of them the way I did with queer water-bender Nehal.
