Welcome once more to Women in SFF!

We are back for our fourth year celebrating and giving a platform to women in the SFF genres, and we’ve already reached the end of our first week.

Each week, we’ll try and round up all this wonderful content into one summary-wrap-up post – if we’ve missed you, please comment and link below! We’d love to see the ways you’re taking part.

So, what have you all been up to…?

 


Reviews

It’s been a quiet first week for reviews so far this year…

Beth reviewed Talonsister by Jen Williams here on the Fantasy Hive:

An unforgettable magical fable from Britain’s Queen of fantasy.

 

And over on Instagram, Matías reviewed Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater:

Stiefvater really played with my emotions. But in the end, this book was everything I could have asked for.
