Deviant Quill Reviews

A fiercely researched, gritty look at 18th-century North Carolina and indigenous survival. Written by a Native American author, the cultural authenticity elevates the entire story.

My first T. Kingfisher and definitely not what I expected. Slow, atmospheric, and unexpectedly centered on female resilience. Loved it. Full review: deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/wol… @torbooks #BookTwitter #horrorbooks #bookreview #gothichorror

Potternomics by Brian O’Roark explores Harry Potter through economics—trade barriers crush growth, and magic can’t fix financial mismanagement. Sharp, clever, and full of nerdy insights. deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/18/pot… #HarryPotter #Potternomics #FantasyBooks #BookReview #WizardingWorld

Deliberate pacing, morally gray protagonist, and uneasy power dynamics. Full review: deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2026/01/16/the… #historical #BookLovers #BookRecommendation #bookstoread #war #japan

The Red Winter is a dark, funny, gory, lyrical adult fantasy with demons, mythology, monster hunting. Five stars. Give me more Sebastian Grave immediately. deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2026/01/15/the… @MacmillanUSA @NetGalley #booktwt #BooksWorthReading #FantasyBooks

@goodreads Songs of the Dead - Brandon Sanderson/ Peter Orullian. June release! <3

What are you reading this week?

Keeper of Lost Children is a powerful historical novel inspired by real postwar adoption efforts and a forgotten chapter of history. Heavy, humane, and worth the time. Full review here: deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2026/01/12/kee… #BlackHistory365 #booktwt #BooksWorthReading

House of Spells and Secrets blends cozy gothic vibes, Irish folklore, and inherited magic, but slow pacing, repetition, and a weak climax hold it back. Strong concept, uneven execution.

Sanderson’s Tailored Realities: he went wild with this one. Ten stories, ten mind-bending worlds, all showing new sides of his genius. Die-hard fans, this one’s for you.

What are you currently reading?

Ancient Rome, tangled power plays, and a love story that refuses to stay in one lifetime. Sophia and Cassius delivers myth, grit, and a heroine who fights for her place across worlds and eras.

If you loved A Language of Dragons, this sequel will break your heart and steal it at the same time. @HarperCollins Full review: deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/12/a-w… #fantasy #dragons #booktwt #BookTwitter #bookstoread #BookSpotlight #BookRecommendation

Eve by B.K. O’Connor tears apart the myths, gives the first woman her voice, and refuses to be polite. Not for comfort readers. For rebels, thinkers, and anyone ready to see Genesis rewritten. #FeministFiction #booktwt #bookstoread deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2025/09/24/eve…

Star-crossed love, gothic pageantry, and vengeance carved into stone Full review: deviantquillbookreviews.wordpress.com/2025/09/16/ine… #BookRecommendation #bookreviews #BookTwitter #booktok #Portugal #historical

@goodreads Eve by B. K. O'Connor. It's a feminist retelling of the Genesis that I found freshly-added on NetGalley 😍
