Today @kitvaria.bsky.social reviews Courtney Smyth's The Undetectables! - JI 🐉

"Be gay, solve crime, take naps."

"The real heart of the book is Mallory and her #fibromyalgia. This is not token representation. It is woven into everything."

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows the closeup illustration of a fictional newspaper. In the center is an "ad" with a giant pentagram inside a circle drawn in a purple highlighter. Below the pentagram are three silhouettes. The first three are solid human figures of different heights. The fourth is partly erased and has cat ears. The ad below the center reads, "Magical Detectives. Got cursed or bewitched? Lost one of your socks or a friend?" and then is cut off by the edge of the book. To either side of the main ad are smaller ads including one on the right that shows an old-fashioned bottle of poison. Scattered across the cover are five purple beetles with shiny shells. The background image is various watercolor swatches in a multitude of purples of different shades and shininess.

ICYMI: @kitvaria.bsky.social reviews @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social's Limited Wish! - JI 🐉

"A perfect mix of brain and heart, it will make you think, grin, and turn the pages far too quickly."

fantasy-faction.com/2025/limited... #booksky 💙📚🪐 #timetravel #YA

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows the title written in electric purple and bright pink outlined in white on a black background. Radiating out from the title are purple-ish digital outlines cascading outward making a tunnel effect. The background image is wavy electric blue lines with white spots of light, vaguely mimicking an organic circuit board.

Today @kitvaria.bsky.social reviews L. G. Estrella's Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Elf! - JI 🐉

"Man eating plants, giant golems, zombie titans, a bumbling bureaucrat, and a murderous elf all pile into the chaos."

fantasy-faction.com/2026/two-nec... #booksky 💙📚🪐 #halloween

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows the illustration of a castle in silhouette on a hilltop in the light of a full moon. Bats fly across the sky and a cemetery sits at the bottom of the hill. The background of the image is a photo of a cloudy sky at night.

Today @summerhanford.bsky.social reviews Sarah Hawley's Servant of Earth! - JI 🐉

"The various peoples, the politics, the physical locations, all rendered beautifully and seamlessly. Servant of Earth is a masterclass in worldbuilding."

fantasy-faction.com/2026/servant... #booksky 💙📚🪐🌶️

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows a white woman with flowing auburn hair, in a green velvet dress with a red underlining. It is tied at the waist with a golden rope that floats off to the right and left of her. In front of the woman is a highly carved sword with a ruby on its pommel. Around the edge is a gold Art Nouveau frame covered in vines and flowers, and decorated with a carved woman's face at the bottom and six gem stones on the corners and the top. The background of the image is the close up photo of a bush with dark green leaves.

Today Christopher Keene gives new readers a new way into Malazan! - JI 🐉

"I’m tempted to defy all common sense and recommendation rules and suggest a reading order that does not align with its release order. For newer readers...start at book two."

fantasy-faction.com/2026/why-mal... #booksky 💙📚🪐

The image shows a bulletin board with the first four books of Malazan Book of the Fallen (Gardens of the Moon, Deadhouse Gates, Memories of Ice, and House of Chains) pinned to it with pushpins. Above the last three books are red arrows pointing from each one to the book to its left. Below the books is a larger red arrow pointing from the first book to the last. Below that are three pieces of paper pinned to the board. On the left is a piece of lined paper with a handwritten note that reads: Suggested reading order?? On the right is torn piece of parchment that reads: Why Malazan is So Hard to Recommend, A Fantasy-Faction Article. Between the parchment and the books above it is a torn circular piece of white paper with three question marks written in black marker.

Mary deemed too much of either an unexpectable exercise in hubris.
