Queer Fantasy Books Bracket: Round 1

Book summaries below:

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard (The Sword of Summer, The Hammer of Thor, The Ship of the Dead) by Rick Riordan

Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, Magnus learns that someone else is trying to track him down—his uncle Randolph, a man his mother had always warned him about. When Magnus tries to outmaneuver his uncle, he falls right into his clutches. Randolph starts rambling about Norse history and Magnus's birthright: a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. The more Randolph talks, the more puzzle pieces fall into place. Stories about the gods of Asgard, wolves, and Doomsday bubble up from Magnus's memory. But he doesn't have time to consider it all before a fire giant attacks the city, forcing him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents. . . . Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die. Fantasy, middle grade, young adult, mythology, adventure, urban fantasy

Thirsty Mermaids by Kat Leyh

Fresh out of shipwreck wine, three tipsy mermaids—Pearl, Tooth, and Eez—hit on the idea of magically masquerading as humans and sneaking onto land to indulge in much more drinking and a whole lot of fun right in the heart of a local seaside tourist trap. But the good times abruptly end the next morning when, through the haze of killer hangovers, the trio realizes they never actually learned how to break the spell, and are now stuck on land for the foreseeable future. Which means everything from: enlisting the aid of their I-know-we-just-met-but-can-we-crash-with-you bartender friend, struggling to make sense of the human world around them, to even trying to get jobs with zero skill sets . . . all while attempting to somehow return to the sea and making the most of their current situation with tenacity and camaraderie (especially if someone else is buying). Graphic novel, fantasy, humor, adult

Well, that was different. Also, sort of has a very good message of ‘don’t make big decisions when you’re tipsy or drunk’ (although maybe that wasn’t the main point of the book). Three mermaids do a spell so that they can masquerade as humans on land and get some more wine (they’re out of shipwreck wine). They have fun, that is until the next morning when they realize that they don’t know how to turn themselves back (another lesson, always learn how to stop before you learn how to go). And so they try to figure out how to live on land, while they also try to figure out how to return to the sea too.

This was so awesomely hilarious. While I have pointed out the lessons that sorta came up in the story, that was definitely not the point of this book. It was just a fun fun read, awesome.

BOOK REVIEW: Snapdragon - Kat Leyh

★★★★★ - 5 stars

"Witches don't fit into the roles we're supposed to. So we're always on the outside. And so, witches got made into scary things to be feared. To excuse the cruel things done to us. That's what scared folks still do."

It was unintentional for Snap to meet her town's supposed witch, and yet once she did, she realised the old woman was far from what rumours suggested. Jacks turned out to really just be an old lady who wore crocs constantly, happened to be shockingly internet savvy and reconstructed and sold roadkill skeletons. Strange, but not a witch as people had suggested. Yet, as Snap got to know Jacks better, she realised the old lady in fact did have real magic, and an unexpected past connection to Snap's family...

The diversity in this book was outstanding - with lesbian and transgender representation. Simply, the amount of representation perfectly displays the message of the book: to be yourself, no matter whether society dubs you as "strange" for it, and the importance of having confidence in who you truly are.

Snap was definitely my favourite character (though very closely followed by Jacks) - I just loved her energy. She was stereotypically "boyish" but she owned it and didn't care what others thought of her for it. Snap was just downright weird, and I couldn't have asked for a better main character. Jacks was absolutely hilarious, and didn't fail to make me laugh once throughout the entire book. Her character was just so intriguing - an old lady with a crocs addiction, who reconstructed skeletons as a means of gaining money (quite genuinely, I have never seen a character like her). Then there's Lu, who I just wanted to give a massive hug to throughout the entire book.

The fact that every character had their own storyline was so cool, and the way the characters' storylines interwove with each others was, frankly, beautiful - such as how Snap's grandma and Jacks' storylines link, and the true story behind Snap's family's "curse".

A brilliant book for outcasts across the world, Snapdragon is without a doubt the best graphic novel I have ever read. With a balanced mixture between fantasy and realism, a unique storyline and lovable characters, it's safe to say that Snapdragon will undoubtedly become one of your all time favourites.

Queer Fantasy Books Bracket: Round 1

Book summaries below:

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters—James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna—join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote—and perhaps not even to live—the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be. Fantasy, historical fiction, adult, alternate history, turn-of-the-century

Snapdragon by Kat Leyh

Snap’s town had a witch. At least, that’s how the rumor goes. But in reality, Jacks is just a Crocs-wearing, internet-savvy old lady who sells roadkill skeletons online. It’s creepy, sure, but Snap thinks it's kind of cool, too. Snap needs a favor from this old woman, though, so she begins helping Jacks with her strange work. Snap gets to know her and realizes that Jacks may in fact have real magic—and an unlikely connection to Snap’s family’s past. Graphic novel, fantasy, middle grade, magical realism

1, 15, and/or 20 for the book ask?

gyack i havent received asks in so long i missed this, sorry!

book you've reread the most? Howl's Moving Castle or Percy Jackson! Comfort series that bring me warmth.

15. recommend and review a book. HO BOY with pleasure!

I love the 1920's, for all the wrong reasons. The book Poisoner's Handbook is guilty for this, it's a close insight into how forensics were established during prohibition in the USA, as well as a case study of various victims who suffered at the hands of poisons at the time. (Many were murders, some were unfortunate accidents due to a mix of specific chemicals.)

Now, we all know Prohibition was a terrible idea, but this book really shows the depths of why it was so bad, as well as how corrupt politicians were. It's a trainwreck and you can't avert your eyes.

Leave it to this author to make such a heavy topic be fun and alluring! She has a magic touch for dark humour and explaining truly complex terms in easily digestible words. You fall in love with the man who revolutionized forensics too, he was a one-man army. Phenomenal stuff.

20. things i look for in books? Hmm. I tend to gravitate to books that are recommended to me by friends with similar tastes to me? Sometimes I want fantasy, happy-go-lucky books, while other days I crave something darker, gorier and edgier.

book ask game
