Book Review: The Price Of Mercy By Emily Galvin Almanza

01-19-2026

Leftist Language Will Annoy Some Readers. Read This Anyway. Straight up, Galvin Almanza is absolutely a product of her time - in this case, "her time" being 2010s Harvard and Stanford and then abolitionist activism.

Book Review: The Memory Thief By Kayla Eaden

Phenomenal Story. Absolutely HORRID Storytelling. In the hands of someone with the skills of a Roth (DIVERGENT) or a Collins (HUNGER GAMES) or a Rowling (HARRY POTTER) or a Dashner (MAZE RUNNER) or a Robinson (THE LAST HUNTER) or a Phillip
