"What are we if not stories we have been told, and stories we tell ourselves?"
A delicate blend of folklore and speculative fiction - exploring themes of xenophobia, grief, forgiveness, and recovery - tenderly threaded with fragile strands of hope.

I've read 24 books by @aptshadow.bsky.social since September 2023 when I started my journey, with Children of Time on my way home from FantasyCon.
It's the most books I've read by one author, and not even 50% of his work!
Anyway, here are four of my personal favourites.

House of Open Wounds by @aptshadow.bsky.social is superb.
I had so much fun with this one. Phenomenal world building as one would expect from this author, but it's the characters who steal the show here.
A wonderful cast of memorable characters, full of heart, humour, and mayhem.
Just brilliant!

The Earthseed duology by Octavia E Butler is powerful, prescient, and poignant.
