The Dragon of Ynys – ARC review

Author: Minerva Cerridwen
Publication date: September 15, 2020
Genre: fantasy, LGBTQIA+, novella
My rating: 5/5 stars

In today’s divisive society, uniqueness can become a point of shame rather than pride. The Dragon of Ynys is a perfect balm to soothe everyone and anyone who feels hurt by the lack of acceptance that is often so prevalent–it will make you smile, lift your spirits, and reaffirm your belief that there is good in the world, all in the span of roughly 100 pages. I seriously cannot adequately express how much I loved this book.

Quiet No More – blog tour (promo post + GIVEAWAY!!!)

Hey, y’all! I know, I know, two posts in one day–you’re getting double your dose of K-Specks content, I guess? This post isn’t a review, as I haven’t been able to read this book yet (law school is killing me, schedule-wise!) but TBR and Beyond Tours is hosting a tour for the title now, and I definitely wanted to highlight this powerful upcoming release about the aftermath of abuse and sexual assault.

Ironspark – blog tour (ARC review)

Author: C.M. McGuire
Publication date: August 25, 2020
Genre: young adult fantasy
My rating: 3.5/5 stars

Queer besties! Welsh mythology! Fae and magic! Adorable little shadow creatures! Ladies, gentlemen, and nonbinary pals, Ironspark is a solid urban fantasy with a lot of heart. It may not be a perfect book, but it was one I had fun with–with the exception of the ending, but hey, you can’t win ’em all, right? (Plus, there is an ace character, which, you know, is a huge plus for just about any book in my opinion.)
