Decided to re-read these for fun, loved them in elementary/middle school.

Different from Detransition, by a lot, but also not really? Every story in this collection is a work of art, though I didn't /love/ infect your friends as much as the others, surprisingly

Enjoyed and would recommend, but definitely will not be everyone

I really expected to like this more than I did. I understand the purpose of the writing style, and it communicates a dreaminess that Offred experiences, fading in and out of reality and time as a trauma response, but it almost feels too vague at points. The lack of quotation marks is hard to follow in some places. The “historical notes” at the end feel superfluous, although read as a commentary on academic detachment from atrocities, especially those perpetrated by white men it's interesting. Not sure that's how it's intended though. I'd still recommend reading it, if only because of its place in SpecFic and feminist canon.

Enjoyed it, but some of the action/drama was a miss for me. Still my fav sapphic author though. Go to her site and buy the ebook (or physical) before the Amazon release!

I don't think I liked the writing... Style? Voice? Still going to give some of her other stuff a try though.

A must read for anyone who considers themselves a feminist and/or trans ally. “the third sex” in particular is an incisive commentary on white/Western decolonization and a refusal to look at unfamiliar, but inarguable transmisogyny to score points using people of color as a rhetorical cudgel, while ignoring the reality of non-western patriarchy and misogyny as a whole.

I liked it I think but I couldn't really get into the characters

Decent conclusion to the series.

I liked parts of this, but I really didn't like Delilah/Delilah+Cat together. I liked Delilah's character more in the other books, and there were definitely some things that I liked about it in this one, but she just seemed a little angsty.

I don't care what straight people do in the privacy of their own home but I wish they wouldn't shove it down our throats


Jokes aside it was fine. Suffers from similar problems to the first one with regards to the “rules” of the magic system but it felt easier to ignore since they weren't being explained this time. I mean, I keep reading them so I must be fine with it.

I liked it but it was a little contradictory at points, especially when it came to what exactly magic could and couldn't do. I mean, why are we wondering what the town founders would have wanted, when apparently, we can just call them up on the ghost mirror and talk to them? Idk. Concept was interesting, execution not my favorite but it was still a fun read.

I wasn't sure how I felt about it until ~1/4 of the way through but damn, I really liked it.

I didn't dislike it? But it just didn't really speak to me for some reason.

Enjoyed it :)

Liked it. Not my fav of hers, but it was also her first book I think and I still enjoyed it :)

<3

Slow burn I guess but I didn't mind as both characters were likeable enough that just their friendship was entertaining.

Ohhhhh my god Ruby Landers is far and away my fav romance author. Sweetly written and with a little bit of mystery woven in, I always finish her books feeling a genuine sense of hope and happiness. I loved Grace Notes so much that I put off reading this for almost TWO MONTHS, worried that I wouldn't like it as much. I should have picked it up as soon as it released.

100% recommendation if you:

1. Are interested in Christian nationalism
2. Were raised or remain Conservative/Christian
3. Have family that is conservative Christian

Recommend

Nice world building, kept me interested. Characters were well written and art was very nice.

Enjoyed this series a lot, there were some dips but overall worth the conclusion.

Not bad, although I was reminded that Tchaikovsky loves to repeat himself quite a bit.

Loved it
