Threadlight Trilogy by Zack Argyle

A world with cool eye colors tied to powers, a cast that could make you think about your own interactions with people, and a narrative that comes with a really cool map. —Patrick Edinger

Good evening to anyone reading. I hope you found this in good health. For this piece, I will be detailing a review of the newer trilogy, Threadlight, by Zack Argyle. Threadlight, if anyone’s mind was bursting with wonder, is a fantasy story set on The Continent of Arasin. Arasin is a large body of land filled to the brim with various mythical and magical creatures, as well as bustling settlements to match. Within this world bloated with legends, magics, and fiends, lies the beginning of our story. The beginning of the journey.

The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes

Sonora Reyes delivers a clear, compelling, and hilarious narrative of protagonist Yamilet’s (Yami) high school experience as a mostly-closeted queer brown outsider in their debut novel, The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School. During an interview with the National Catholic Reporter, Reyes says, “In writing [my book], I wanted to explore what a happy ending could look like in Catholic school.” 

Be prepared to get sucked into Yami’s perspective. With an opening line of “Seven years of bad luck can slurp my ass,” how could you not? Yami’s voice feels wry and charming, and with chapter titles like “Thou Shalt Not Trust a Two-Faced Bitch,” and “Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Capitalism,” I found myself smiling and laughing often.

Hot Take: Reading Pet Peeves

Reading is a healthy and entertaining activity to do. It trains your brain and immerses you into an entirely new world. But every now and then, something small and bothersome grabs your attention over the story itself, like a pet peeve. —Patrick Edinger
