Review: The Summer War

Celia was twelve years old on the day she cursed her brother. Argent’s little sister is too young to understand that Argent is tired. He’s tired of trying to be the knight his father wants him to be, tired of being afraid of what would happen if he isn’t. He’s realized that where his father

Binary System Podcast #492 – WTNV #281 “Witnesses”

This week in Night Vale, Dana Cardinal’s investigation into the murder of Marcus Vanston is finally making progress: a witness has come forward! Actually four witnesses. And not one of them has any useful information. We don’t know yet if people are being made to forget what they’ve seen, or are being prevented from saying

Review: Through Gates of Garnet and Gold (Wayward Children Book 11)

Much like the Doors themselves, Eleanor’s rules were simple and absolute: No solicitation. No visitors. No quests. Nancy was one of the first Wayward Children we were introduced to in Book One of Seanan McGuire’s series, and also one of the first to find her way back to the world that Eleanor West’s school was

Review: A Mouthful of Dust (The Singing Hills Cycle Book 6)

Where there was hunger, there was desperation, and eventually, the belly cried louder than the children, or the elderly, or the dead. For a series that stars a gender-neutral cleric and their sassy neixin companion (bird-shaped, but most definitely not a bird, don’t be rude), Nghi Vo’s Singing Hills series can get surprisingly dark.

Review: Snake-Eater

It’s almost 2026! Boy, 2025 was quite a year, wasn’t it? There’s time for one more book review, and I can’t think of a more appropriate choice than a T. Kingfisher story about a young woman who finally decides she’s had enough of the crap that life has dumped on her, and nopes out to

Binary System Podcast #483 – Mayor of Kingstown and Star Trek: Lower Decks

The theme of this week’s episode of Mayor of Kingstown is paranoia. Is Frank Moses playing a long game and setting Bunny up for failure? Is the Warden playing an even longer game and hoping her secret connections will protect her? Is Mike’s new friend/lover/it’s complicated Cindy getting close to Mike for her own nefarious
