We’ve got some Lightning Reviews for ya today! The three mini reviews below contain a short story collection within the sci-fi genre, a work of historical fiction from a series, and nonfiction about getting shit done. Enjoy!

All feature protagonists of color, and all are challenging, uncompromising, and delightful. Several of these stories, like “The City Born Great” and “The You Train,” explore the spirits of and in cities. “Red Dirt Witch” takes place in rural Alabama, where the Fey can be fought off with the traditional rowan and ash, … Continue reading How Long ’til Black Future Month by N.K.

RECOMMENDED: The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price matched. Elyse loved this book and gave it an A:
The Fifth Season is also a relatively quick read. It opens with a cataclysmic disaster and doesn’t slow down its pace. Its characters travel widely. My only word of warning is that the book ends on a massive cliffhanger. Fortunately the sequel, The Obelisk Gate, will be released in August. After finishing this book I’m making desperate grabby hands for the next one.
If you like immersive, action-driven fantasy and if you want a fantasy world that’s not Euro-centric–or if you just love a really, really good story–I cannot recommend The Fifth Season enough.
