The Fox Maidens (2024) | Robin Ha |

I picked up this book scond hand on a whim, and I higly enjoyed it the whole way through!! The Fox Maidens is a retelling of an old fairytale set in 16th century Korea, focusing on the story of the commander of the Royal Legion's daughter, who he trains to be a warrior. Wonderfully illustrated and paced, deliciously long for a graphic novel. Also explores some queer themes, which was a pleasent surprise.

Yde et Olive (13th century) | Unknown |

Girllllll. I fucking love this chanson. It fucks severely. Shoutout the one english translation I found. The story is about Yde, a princess who flees her home after her father decides he wants to mary her (gross). She disguises herself as a boy, and finds out she's really fucking good in battle. The king of Rome's daughter Olive? Swooning over her, as she should be. Oh yeah, and there's an angel going around hitting people with the transgenderfication beam. There's a baby named croissant. It's that good.

A Closed and Common Orbit (2016) | Becky Chambers |

I can't believe it took me so long to read this book. This is the second book in the Wayfarer series, but it's not really a direct sequel. This book is about an AI learning how to be a person and it made me cry. <3333333 real AI sucks but Sidra is my baby.
