Book Reviews

What The Sea Has Wrought by Ashley Gallaher-Pollard

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fantastic debut collection from a superb poet.

I loved this. I intended to only read a few at a time, but ended reading the whole thing in one sitting. Then I went back and have been re-reading and savoring each piece at my leisure.

I rarely give 5 stars, a 4 star review from me means a very enjoyable book. One reason I will, is when a debut offering is just so good. This is one of those cases. Pick it up, and enjoy it as much as I did.

The Night's Tales; tales from the Beginning

I left the table and slipped another glass of champagne from a waiter’s tray as it glided by.

I better slow up on these or I’ll be all over Dinlas later, I thought as I took a sip. Then I shrugged.

There’s worse things to do tonight.

I could feel Hekate before I ever saw her, and I followed her magic to the center of the hall where she was surrounded by enraptured staff and a fascinated Viridios. A beautiful dagger rested in her hand, the handle fashioned in the shape of an ornate key. She twirled it around her finger, making some of the staff flinch horribly, until she tossed it in the air, high above their heads. A collective gasp came from the spectators, and it landed with a satisfying hiss into its sheath on her hip. Enthusiastic applause followed as Hekate took a swig of something dark…

A Primordial’s Tradition, III (Rewrite) — VOICE OF THE NIGHT

Friends of Dinlas

Nyx’s 2019 Yule Celebration continues as she pampers those she loves with gifts, and more importantly, her love.

“Neith!” I almost felt bad trying to catch up to the doe-eyed goddess; her attention was fully on the goddess standing beside her in a beautifully sparkling gown, reminiscent of the celestial bodies. Neith finally looked over and flashed me a radiant smile, looking stunning in her own golden dress that hugged her curves. I […]

The Night's Tales; tales from the Beginning

Dolos’ easy laugh fell on my ears as I approached him, his sister standing beside him with a grin on her face and a dark twinkle in her eyes. They turned to me simultaneously as I came within earshot, and I couldn’t help but smile. Though they are far grown and mature by now, it was hard for me to not still see Dolos’ chubby cheeks or Apate’s sweet smile from when they were younger. I pulled them into a quick hug, kissing both their foreheads, avoiding jostling their drinks, and beamed at them.

“Are you two enjoying yourselves? Staying out of trouble, or mostly, I hope?”

Dolos started to answer, but Apate snorted and cut him off with a wicked smile. “As much as we can, miteras. It has been a chore trying to keep Dolos from causing mischief among the staff and guests.”

I raised an eyebrow…
