A very good memoir about something I think a lot of people can relate to, if not empathize with.

So I really wanted to like this book. I just... it didn't capture me how I wanted it to. Usually I'm a sucker for a vampire book, but there wasn't a great pull in this one from me. Maybe it's because perspectives switched half way through? I don't know.

A really good retelling of Medusa's tale. Some bits did feel like they dragged on for a while, but other than that a fantastic read.

Found this one a bit harder to read then the first. Kind of dragged on in bits, but liked the ending. I could see more of Viv's tales coming in the future from this author, although I'd be fine if not. I also did like how whatever book was recommended hinted at the themes for the next bit. That was a nice touch.

To be honest, I'll have to reread the whole season, but from what I remember of the beginning of season 3 is was really good. I'm sad to see the series end, but happy I got to be part of the ride!

I really liked this story (so much I ordered the rest of the series). I had read the two stand alones first, so I already knew how this had to end, but this so far is the strongest of the stories. I don't know whether that's because it's the shortest, or because I already knew how the world and magic system are set up. I have a feeling I'm at least going to have to reread The Forest after finishing this series.

A really good collection of short comics all centered around evil women. Sometimes, they just are evil and that's okay.
