Bridget & Gabe Are Not Okay is a more serious follow-up to the NY Times bestseller Gwen and Art Are Not in Love. This modern twist to King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table was a good YA read. #BookThreads #BookSky #Netgalley #StMartinsPress #MacmillanAudio #BridgetandGabeAreNotOkay

What was touted as "A luscious, wildly entertaining biographical novel about love, ambition, resilience, reinvention, and Elizabeth Taylor in Italy during the summer of 1967" was not as good as it could have been. #BookThreads #BookSky #Netgalley #TheWomanWhoHadEverything #ARC #ALC #BookReview

Cold-case detective Raquel Laing faces new threats and long-buried secrets in this new novel from one of my favorite writers, Laurie R. King. This is a grittier read than I usually check out, but King's writing wins the day. #BookThreads #BookSky #ThoseWhoAreGone #Netgalley #ARC #ALC #BookReview

Book Review: The Passing of the Dragon and Other Stories by Ken Liu

This is a gorgeous set of short stories - and a good deal more accessible than some of the heavyweight prose Liu has previously been involved with. Some of the stories contain sentences which are complex jewels to be savoured.

What I particularly like is the way he moves between almost-prosaic Earth-bound stories to the the most extraordinary flights of fancy. One story might be set in a downtown art gallery, the next in the ice-rings of a far-off planet. The creeping feeling of senescence haunts the reader as they flit from story to story.

Much like his full-length novel All That We See or Seem, Liu has an incredible knack for tapping in to modern fears and weaving tall tales around them. There's a tenderness in all his character - even when a couple of the stories go nowhere, it is still pleasant to spend time in the worlds he has created.

It is, perhaps, missing a cohesive theme - the dragons come and go throughout the stories. Nevertheless, a compelling work chock full of fantastical ideas.

If you're in the mood for a wide and varied selection of stories, this is well worth picking up.

Many thanks to NetGalley for the review copy. Passing of the Dragon is available to buy now.
