2023 Book Review

Photo Credit (original): Ed Robertson

I read 95 books this year. Here's some of what I enjoyed and what I didn't, in genre or arbitrary categories:

Fave SFF books

Spinning Silver (Naomi Novik)

All Systems Red (Martha Wells)

The Scottish Boy (Alex de Campi)

Magician (KL Noone)

Heated Rivalry (Rachel Reid)

Also Role Model and The Long Game (Rachel Reid)

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen (KJ Charles)

The older ones

(recently published books can feel very samey after a while. The irony of these being old books but feeling like a breath of fresh air)

Tam Lin (Pamela Dean) (1991)

Swordspoint (Ellen Kushner) (1987)

Wise Children (Angela Carter) (1991)

Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) (1981)

(more books under the cut)

Best atmosphere

The Likeness (Tana French)

The fun rereads

Scum Villain's Self-Saving System (MXTX_

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MXTX)

The King of Attolia (Megan Whalen Turner)

Empress of Salt and Fortune (Nghi Vo)

The Ruin of a Rake (Cat Sebastian)

The unexpected delight

(it's a biography, and I never anticipated feeling so engrossed in one of them)

The invention of Angela Carter (Edmund Gordon)

The one that hurts so good

Checkmate (Dorothy Dunnett)

Didn't quite love the books but adored the characters

The Dreamer Trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater (my typical experience of her stories)

The meh

Bardugo's Nikolai duology

Schwab's Darker Shades of Magic

The dreadful and my only DNF

A Taste of Gold and Iron (Alexandra Rowland)

Most bitterly disappointing

The third installment of Hall's billionaire series How to Belong with a Billionaire.

Biggest book hangover

Seven Summer Nights and Heated Rivalry

Best book boyfriend

ILYA ROZANOV

Most bonkers book

The Library at Mount Char (Scott Hawkins)

The "not sure I liked it but it'll definitely stay with me"

Some Desperate Glory (Emily Tesh)

The writing craft book that actually offered a new insight

The Heroine's Journey (Gail Carriger)

Overall, a decent year. My goal of completing series I'd started in the past and hadn't finished meant I subjected myself to some less enjoyable books, but I also read some excellent romances and fantasy novels, and I really enjoyed reading some older books, a practice I plan to continue.

CONNECTIONS: Deirdre (step sister) written by @hvbris. Sam (step sibling) written by @collidingxworlds. Lavinia (step mom) written by @hvbris.

BIOGRAPHY

Men weren’t to be trusted. Not a single one. And that extended, so Megan was told by her new step-mom, to her dad as well. Always a quiet but intelligent girl, a little shy, Megan was already wary of talking to boys as she entered her teenage years, but this was reinforced when Lavinia came into her life. 

Along with her came Megan’s step-sister, Deirdre, a little older and lot more confident. Wanting very much to get along and not cause any ripples in the household, Megan immediately looked up to her new sister. Even if Deirdre resisted her every attempt to do so.

All her memories of childhood were happy ones, right up until her mother’s death, but Lavinia was determined to turn Megan against her own blood. The turning point came when Megan found out her Dad had cheated on her Mom while she was sick. The seed was planted, now watered. Men weren’t to be trusted. 

When Lavinia finally poisoned Victor Glass, taking the life of her second husband, Megan was shaken, torn by her emotions and her loyalty to her dad. But he’d betrayed his daughter and his previous wife. 

Didn’t he deserve it?

VERSES

Main A seemingly ordinary and shy girl harbors terrible secrets about her family.

The Hunger Games Born in District 1, Megan had never been like any of the Careers , never interested in volunteering her life for the entertainment of the Capitol. Reaped for the games at 17, she went from a life of secret bloodshed to an arena of chaos, with her step mother drilling in the need for Megan to make her proud and elevate the family.

Jurassic World The lucky winner of a student veterinary placement at Isla Nublar, Megan never expected to actually be chosen. It was a dream come true, a chance to start off her training and later career with a bang. The plan was to live and work at the impressive Jurassic World park for six months. But the island had other plans.

Who is Kristi Branim Fox | Know The Unknown Sister of Megan Fox

Theresa Marie Seward "I am Kristi Michelle Fox"

[senatushq]

NAME. Tisiphone AGE & BIRTH DATE. 3000+ & Unknown GENDER & PRONOUNS. Female & She/Her SPECIES. Aspect OCCUPATION. Enforcer FACE CLAIM. Megan Fox

biography

( tw war, blood ) And in the beginning, there was blood. Blood had been the source of her very existence and strength. With Tiamat’s blood being the answer to her creation, Tisiphone entered this world ready for it. Screaming, wrathful and prepared, Tisiphone, along with her two sisters Alecto and Megara, fought the old Gods without hesitation. Nothing could stop them for all Tisiphone knew was war. 

War, war, war, bloodshed in its entirety a necessary evil for the welfare of her divine Father Ulthar and the Elders. She crushed skulls underneath her feet, forced Gods onto their knees as the avenger of murder, that’s how they named her - Tisiphone. She gladly struck Gods down with her might, never once questioning the actual reason for it. To Tisiphone the world presented itself in black and white terms, allies and enemies with nothing in between. In a world of war, Tisiphone clung to her siblings and covered both their left and right flanks, completing the iconic trio, the Erinyes. 

The executioner, the one to carry out vengeance and punishments, Tisiphone performed her duties without any love nor guilt. Devotion, love for her sisters, yes, but her own pleasures remained within the confines of war, of blood and hearing her enemies scream for mercy. And when the Old Gods had been defeated, Tisiphone could only wait. Waiting for a misstep, disobedience, was easier said than done, but humanity didn’t disappoint. She’d expected as much. It had been just a matter of time until they’d eat the fruit of the Gods and receive free will, going against the wishes of Ulthar. She answered disobedience with justified cruelty, once again wetting her hands with the blood of those at her mercy. Alas, yet again peace wouldn’t last, forcing Tisiphone into action. 

Lucifer, her sibling, refused to follow Ulthar’s command any longer, which ultimately confused her. To go against Ulthar was to choose a fate worse than death. Their betrayal hurt, forcing Tisiphone to feel hurt, possibly for the first time in her existence. To be confronted with her own ability to feel ultimately bothered her. Rage and vengeance weren’t things she ever had to dial down or channel. They’d come so natural to her, without even thinking, but this? Fear followed as she thought about the possibility of her sisters choosing Lucifer over her. The Executioner, how good could you be for them, anyway? Death followed her wherever she went while Ulthar’s hands remained dry and spotless. She’d have to be the one to fight her own siblings if needed - so she blindly accepted her new fate, sealing away her own emotions – everything, but rage. The damage was done. Punishing her siblings brought her nothing but joy, an emotion she could barely hide. Their own rebellion had done nothing but further Tisiphone’s affinity for war and bloodshed, to aid Ulthar in keeping peace and order. 

To guard the gates of the city of Dis, Tisiphone and her sisters descended beneath the fifth circle. It didn’t take long for the Seraphim-blooded to be corrupted. The inferno, Sathanas’ presence and them whispering into her ear ultimately uncovered what had been hidden for so long: the beast, the Executioner ready to strike her foes down once again.  

She entered this world not knowing what to expect. Vengeance followed everywhere she went, forcing supernatural creatures into getting confronted with their wrongdoings, unable to ignore its presence. Peace had always been the answer, her peace, Ulthar’s peace. It’s only a matter of time until her corruption fully takes over. She’s the enforcer, the executioner, an Aspect tasked with bringing justice into this world - No, punishment, vengeance and bloodshed.
