The Queen of Blood by Sarah Beth Durst
5.0
I loved how consistently and diversely the theme of self vs nature was. Nature as personified by the spirits, but also within various characters' inner states. These characters felt quite real. They were strong, yet flawed. The world itself had a very interesting make-up, especially the method through which Queens are chosen.
I may have gone straight to a bookstore upon finish this novel to see if the sequel was out yet.

I read this book almost a decade ago and I still think about it.
Secret Six, Vol. 2: The Gauntlet by Gail Simone, Dale Eaglesham, Tom Derenick
5.0
Great series! Twisted humor, interesting characters, gray morality. Gail Simone is one of my favourite comic writers
The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
5.0
I found the most intriguing part of it to be the treatment of the narrator by her family. If she disagrees with her husband, he reminds her that he is a doctor. That she's doing better. That she has to get used to the paper.
Her physical confinement becomes mental confinement. Her lack of stimulation becomes obsession with the only stimulation she has.
It was written so long ago, but is still so applicable to the treatment of the mentally ill today.
