Rating: 4.5🌈 Utterly charming. Kasia Bacon’s short fantasy stories are succinct well developed windows into her established, ever widening Order Universe. Each has its own unique narrative with a different location, couple, often complete with cultural references and fleeting hints from past events. Always my main issue is they’re over too soon, leaving us wanting… Continue reading Review: Rago: An Order Universe Short Story by Kasia Bacon

I… Continue reading Review: Brimstone (a Culinary Creatures novella) by L. Eveland
