Check out Brewed Books' review of Mushroom Blues by Adrian M. Gibson, where she says: "The world building was so immersive. I felt like I was right in there among the spores. And our main characters had such strong voices and such growth.
I would definitely recommend picking this one up!"

Les armées de ceux que j'aime - Ken Liu
Une novella qui concentre beaucoup de thèmes chers à Ken Liu tout en proposant un bel univers de villes flottantes (enfin ici marchantes) au dessus d'une Terre dévastée. Un joli texte que j'ai eu plaisir à lire. Par contre je n'ai rien compris à la nouvelle qui l'accompagne .

#PennedPossibilities 651 — Name one person that would willingly hold your MC back if they were ever in the “raving lunacy” stage of anger.
(I am so monumentally tired tonight. I'm actually a wee bit dizzy. So... Short answer for me. I might add to it in the morning.)
That one person, without fail, will always be Junk. In fact, we see this occur early on in the first novel of the series. Junk is Alexios' steady, unyeilding best friend and a protector in every way. That faithful friend, the one who protects him no matter the cost, who always stops him from making any terrible mistakes—that's Junk to a T. Alexios has a fiery temper and often flies off the handle. He's working on fixing that...
An honorary mention also goes out to Dante here. He would pretty much do the same for Alexios in heartbeat. He's blessed with good friends.

I'm terrified of spiders, but luckily this thing doesn't really look like a spider. As is often the case with these things, she looks weirdly calm. Or maybe she's poisoned like Frodo.
