When Ree mentioned 'scrying', I realized something... When Andomerys scried Emberlon, all they could see was white. What if this is because of the marble? That Emberlon is trapped in the fungi nest as well? That seems very likely. Oh no...

StoryDragon reviewed Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams
The Dictionary of Lost Words: Enjoyable, could've used Content Warnings.
4 stars
This really is a thought-provoking book, and I did quite enjoy most of it.
Content Warnings: War, Pregnancy, Sexual content, and Grief. I was unprepared for the amount of loss in the end of the book. It made me enjoy the book less...

StoryDragon reviewed Before We Disappear by Shaun David Hutchinson
A delightful book
5 stars
Before we Disappear is a lovely book. I have read the last half of the book within a single day, I couldn't let it go. There are amazing plot twists too! I really recommend reading Before we Disappear.

StoryDragon reviewed Warden by Delyth Angharad
Lovely book
4 stars
I liked reading Warden. It is quite gentle and lightly written and there is humour! Delyth also uses a lot of nice words in this novella.
There were some words that I have never read before and actually I really love that. There were so much delightful words! I mean, I do not often come across a work where the word 'gaol' is used, so I love it when I see it being used. It might seem old-fashioned, but that is what I like about it.
I really liked the writing style of this novella!

StoryDragon reviewed Queerly Autistic by Erin Ekins
Review of 'Queerly Autistic' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This is a very useful book. It sheds some light on several LGBTQIA+ topics and especially in combination with Autism. There are chapters about sexuality, gender, coming out, relationships, LGBTQIA+ spaces, and more.
A downside of this book is that it is mostly focusing on the United Kingdom. A lot of resources are given, though a lot of them are for the UK. More international resources would have been more helpful, I think.
Also, some texts are repeated several times. Good if you want to not read everything. Not really nice if you want to read everything in one reading.

StoryDragon reviewed The Christmas books by Charles Dickens
Review of 'The Christmas books' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
The first story, A Christmas Carol, is very good.
Then comes The Chimes, which I did not really like and it was harder to understand than A Christmas Carol too. The last story, The Cricket On The Hearth, was a good one again.
