Early September Reviews (2024)
Greetings
Welcome to the Books That Burn Fortnightly Roundup! Releasing every two weeks (one week early for Patrons).
My plan is to resume a more regular review schedule when I finish re-reading October Daye and writing the final two essays in the five-essay series about October Daye by Seanan McGuire and Inheritance by A.K. Faulkner.
News and Events
I track upcoming book releases by authors we've previously covered on a shareable google calendar.
Notable SEPTEMBER Releases:
Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White
A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft
Recent Reviews
COMPOUND FRACTURE by Andrew Joseph White is Thriller, with queer character(s), marketed as Young Adult. Miles survives being beaten nearly to death, then accidentally kills one of his attackers. Told in First Person with Single POV.
SPELLS OF SUMMER by A.K. Faulkner, book 8 of Inheritance is Fantasy/Romance, with queer character(s), marketed as Adult. Freddy does a favor for Myriam and ends up trapped. Told in Third Person with Ensemble POVs.
Rereads and Older Reviews
The re-reads of Inheritance and October Daye are going swimmingly, I’ll get to enjoy the audiobook of Wheel of Fate this time around, and I’m in the middle of The Unkindest Tide for October Daye.
Songs and Playlists
Sometimes I make book playlists, either chronological or character-vibes. You can find all of those here.
This fortnight’s featured playlist is: KNIGHT OF FLAMES
In Case You Missed It
This time last year I read WITCH KING by Martha Wells.
