Thought Corridor

  The Halls of the Dead by S. M. Hallow I enjoyed this book. The three main characters of Irene, Agnes, and St John are well written and I liked the relationship between the three. The book is well paced and the writing flows well. It is inspired by the Victorian gothic genre and it's very detailed with some gory elements.  It is a little slow to start as the beginning is told largely through flashbacks so it takes a little bit to get on track with the current timeline but I enjoyed the writing style and the gothic atmosphere, the world building is detailed and the descriptions of necromancy were good too Thank you to the publishers, the author, and to Netgalley for this ARC.

 Henry Tudor Must Die by Jillian Laine I really enjoyed this book. An excellent mix of reimagined history, feminism and witchcraft. The story begins with Anne Bolyn offered an escape plan by  Catalina de Aragón and from there begins the revenge of women wronged by Henry VIII. It is a well written and interesting take on an alterative universe of the Tudor era and  Marguerite's notes throughout were a fun touch.  If you liked Six The Musical's take on the wives of Henry VIII then I think you'd like this book. Thank you to the author, the publishers, and to Netgaelley for this ARC. 

 The Jewel and the Comet by Tim Pratt Once this book gets going it's is a fun, well paced space opera of a novel. The characters (human and  non) are interesting and I liked Gwen/Glenn and Vivy. As other reviewers have stated there is a bit of sex mentioned so if that's not your thing then maybe not the book for you. Once I got into the book I found it to be enjoyable and as it's the first of Pratt's books I have read I would be eager to read the earlier ones. This book has the typical sci fi tropes with hero's and villains and the multiverse is a well established trope at this point. Thank you to the publisher, the author, and to Netgalley for this ARC.    1 star 1 star 1 star 1 star 1 star
