Read ICARUS by K. Ancrum if you love retellings, reproductions, thefts, secrets, priceless art, difficult childhoods, very specific skillsets, being tired, kindnesses freely given, first friendships, ancient grudges, children bearing the brunt of their parents' sins, and the pain of love.

First read of 2025: THE SUNBEARER TRIALS by Aiden Thomas

One of the ways I trick my brain into getting out of a reading slump is to reread a book I loved, and then, if possible, read a new book by the same author (the new book in a duology, perhaps).

Alt Text contains a ramble.
