I couldn't decide on a rating, so went middle of the road. It has great plot moments, but the interconnections between them fell flat. The characters frequently died to the background to push the plot forward, so it was difficult to care at times for ...more

This was a great magazine overall. I appreciate how it's a mix of non-fiction, reviews, interviews, and original fiction; it allows you to skip around the magazine depending on your mood.

My favourites of the stories were, by far, Each Cell a Throne b

I enjoyed this a lot. I do believe this is the kind of book that it's best to know as little as possible about the plot before starting. I'd seen some spoilers of it beforehand; normally spoilers don't bother me, but for this one I feel like it did t ...more

This book is in Kobo Plus, so gave it a read. It's an interesting collection of rogues, anti heroes, wannabe heros, and the murky middle.

With all anthologies, there's always stories I liked more than others (with one I absolutely hated) but I do thin

Quotes by Krista D. Ball  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Never let the details take over the story; let the story dictate what details to use.”
Krista D. Ball, What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank

“We don’t need to justify disability, gender, people of colour, and varied sexual orientations and identities. People just exist in real life. They don’t need to be explained or justified. Likewise, people do not need to be justified in books. They just exist. If we can even get used to the background, minor people to reflect reality, that would be an improvement towards changing the Strong Female Character into a strong character who happens to be female this time around.”
Krista D. Ball, Appropriately Aggressive: Essays About Books, Corgis, and Feminism

“When a thundering horde of drunken Vikings rush a person, it's only natural to flinch.”
Krista D. Ball, Spirits Rising
