The Door on Half-Bald Hill – Helena Sorensen
What this book lacks in plot, it makes up for many times over in atmosphere. The only criticism I have of The Door on Half-Bald Hill is that the story—a fairly standard journey narrative—is overshadowed […]

The Story Weaver – Lindsay Franklin
Lindsay Franklin’s The Weaver Trilogy began with Tanwen weaving stories into crystalline figures, hoping to become Royal Storyteller for the King. By the trilogy’s end in The Story Hunter, she must rescue the Queen, unmask […]

A Brutal Justice (Nede Rising #2) – Jess Corban

The Weight of Memory – Shawn Smucker
There is nobody else in Christian fiction who writes the kind of stories Shawn Smucker is writing. Shawn’s stories are ethereal, evocative, full of symbolism and magical realism. The narrative isn’t always straightforward. Not everything […]

If It Rains – Jennifer L. Wright
Heavy—that’s how I would describe If It Rains by Jennifer L. Wright. I will also preface this by saying that this is not a happy novel. This is a story you should ingest slowly to […]
