May New Releases

Fantasy Goddess of the River by Vaishnavi Patel Published May 21 Synopsis: "A mother and a son. A goddess and a prince. A curse and an oath. A river whose course will change the fate of the world. Ganga, joyful goddess of the river, serves as caretaker to the mischievous godlings who roam her banks. But when their antics incur the wrath of a powerful sage, Ganga is cursed to become mortal, bound to her human form until she fulfills the obligations of the curse. Though she knows nothing of mortal life, Ganga weds King Shantanu and becomes a queen, determined to regain her freedom no matter the cost. But in a cruel turn of fate, just as she is freed of her binding, she is forced to leave her infant son behind. Her son, prince Devavrata, unwittingly carries the legacy of Ganga’s curse. And when he makes an oath that he will never claim his father’s throne, he sets in motion a chain of events that will end in a terrible and tragic war. As the years unfold, Ganga and Devavrata are d...

2024 Priority Backlist SFF Books

Each year I choose three fantasy and three sci-fi series to read that have been on my TBR list the longest, alongside a few standalones in my favorite genres. I tend to leave series until all of the books are published, with a few of my favorite authors that I'll read as they publish them.

I'm enjoying myself so far as I find the writing to be compelling and fast-paced. I find that in a lot of thick fantasy ...

Ranking the Straw Hat Pirates

One Piece is such a great anime. It's about friendship and standing up for what you believe in and following your dreams. While there is an underlying feeling of hope throughout, it also touches on some darker themes as well. A main one being discrimination. Even though a bulk of it is hidden behind comedy and a childish feel, there are absolutely devastating moments that will make you cry. I love this anime. Much of the cast has eaten Devil Fruits, which give them various powers and makes them unable to swim in the ocean. The main cast is who makes up the Straw Hat Pirates. They are a group of what may seem like random people who are under Captain Monkey D. Luffy as he is on a mission to become king of the pirates. For the purpose of ranking the crew, I am only including the permanent members rather than anyone who at some point was part of the crew. There are no bad members, rather ones that I connect with and enjoy more than others. 1. Tony Tony Chopper Chopper is ...
