Welcome to Litsy!

Just started!!

In this intriguing novella, Agents Hamed and Onsi of the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities are sent to investigate a haunted tram car, only to find a more complicated mystery than expected. Set in Cairo in 1912 in a world where djinn are real, magic is part of everyday life, and women are demanding the right to vote, this entertaining tale made me want to read Clark's novel Master of Djinn.

This one is a decade old by now but it takes place in a steampunk antarctic and is a pretty fun read!

106/100 I finished this a couple of days ago, but forgot to post a review. If you like dark stories, full of deception, violence, and government conspiracies, this is the graphic novel for you. Tom King always finds new ways to look at a character, and here Rorschach is more an idea than a person. I liked the artwork, it matched the story's dark and gritty nature. 4/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Thought this was a great read and verging on the very believable.
Felt very sad 😢 by the end.

This was an amazing ending to a great series. It completely took me by surprise. It was so great. It was filled with so much drama and heart. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Underground Railroad in this book is a literal railroad: trains, tracks, stations, conductors, the whole thing. Each state has its own lesson to learn. Each leg of the journey teaches Cora about the illusion of freedom. What struck me the most was the cycle of violence in history. I kept thinking, “Oh, that‘s like *insert historical period here*” Over and over again, we hurt each other and we‘re still doing it.

A compulsive read. Chidgey takes a dystopian premise (I wont describe because spoilers) & carries it off in a completely fresh way. I think her strength is her ability to build multiple authentic, compelling characters - every interaction btwn them is interesting, you‘re awake to every clue as to who knows what about the mystery in the background. The blend of cheerful, domestic detail with an increasing creepy tension had me glued to the page.
