Stitch & Bitch - August 2026

I'm on record as defending the series quite a bit. I super love these books, but I'll be honest, I super love them as being like the mystery fantasy type genre thing, not necessarily for any commentary that he's providing. I just think they're really strong fantasy novels.

So, I really like it. This is another one where the artwork is really good and the characters are incredibly expressive. I really like that.

So, it was it was quite a ride and a lot of yes, I see why this is BL. There's smut and then the why do we have an entire volume that's just political shenanigans and not smut? But anyway, I finished it. It was very entertaining.

I enjoyed it. it's not like my favorite thing ever by Nevo, but I did read it. I thought it was kind of weird that the blurb on the book seems to like really bill it as like angel demon romance, and I'm like, "No, no, it's really not that."

So, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Hopefully, there will be more in the series because y'all, they got to get married at some point.

But despite having this premise, , it doesn't seem to have a lot of plot. It has really good character design. The artwork is really beautiful.

I really enjoyed this and once Again, I thought the writing style and the translation was pretty fantastic.

I also finally finished Moonlight Murder by Uma Daludin. Really, really enjoyed it.

I really like this. like I feel like it is now like I don't think anything will ever at this point manage to top Empress of Salt and Fortune because I think my reading experience of that book was just so like that book was so influential on me on some levels that I will just always like everything is kind of like in comparison to that book.

When I was reading volume one, I was like, do I really care about this? And then by the end of volume two, I was like, we're going on eBay and buying every copy I can get of this out of print manga series.

I really liked the first couple of chapters and then when I realized there was going to be a romance and which characters were going to be in a romance, I hard DNFed it.

I think it has a lot of depth to it. I was not going into this expecting for it to really cover the themes that it did. Um and I thought it was very well written.
