David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
4.0
a masterclass in gathering the grand arc of a life into a gripping narrative. the length made me anxious, but its outlandish characters kept me turning the pages.
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell
2.0
an unenjoyable meander through the idle gossip of a group of women who have nothing better to do with their time.
On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson
4.0
exquisitely simple, yet exceptionally charming and compelling. I absolutely must read the rest of these one day.
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
5.0
magnificently powerful, peerlessly witty, and truly transformative.
Moon by Aaron Ehasz, Melanie McGanney Ehasz

an uncomplicated but faithful retelling of a brilliant show.

a spellbinding masterpiece of strange worldbuilding and lyrical romance, overflowing with colour and wonder.

a well-crafted finale. cliché to the core, but still a satisfying conclusion.
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
a binge-worthy sequel, steered primarily by the dashing privateer.
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
an entrancing opening to the trilogy, with strong aesthetics of light, dark, and a uniquely russian style.
