Our Crooked Hearts
By Melissa Albert
Melissa Albert terrifies and inspires me in equal measure.
Her books have an otherworldly quality that gives you the sense that as you read them you are changing - or the world around you is changing, or perhaps, being revealed for what it truly is - and if you don’t stop, things will never be the same. Our Crooked Hearts is no exception.
I read Our Crooked Hearts late into the night while peering over my pages to make sure nothing was lurking in the shadows. Unspooling in dual narratives of a mother and daughter during their tumultuous teenage years as they discover themselves and their magic, Albert renders a world of misshapen motherhood, flailing youth, forging friendships, and just-this-side of possible witchcraft.
But if we’ve learned anything from The Hazel Wood, it’s that nothing is free. What I love most about Albert’s work is that there is nothing gratuitous or excessive. She manages to conjure fear, terror, sadness and rage - and it all serves a purpose. The characters are all flawed and flailing but not feckless; they strive to protect, to learn, to rectify, to save. This is evident in the conclusion of the book, which I won’t spoil for you here, but what I will share is wholly satisfying and positively positive. Yes, amidst a book that is terror incarnate, there is, dare I say, somehow, hope.
What is also remarkable about Albert is her ability to wield the written word. She is not only writing, she is crafting a new language. Her prose is like if Neil Gaiman and Maggie Stiefvater had a baby and it were raised by Patti Smith. She crashes words together and creates the most unlikely metaphors that make so much sense it hurts. She writes with the angst of a teenager but the wisdom of a beat poet and the heart of a goddess who still loves humanity. Her text is so palpable that in reading it, I feel like I am participating in a secret ritual that may in fact conjure actual magic. Her writing is the stuff of future lore, of fractured spells, of midnight swims in moon-bleeding waters. She is inventing a story and a form - and it’s the perfect love letter scrawled in black magic for the raging teen trapped inside of us all.

Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts
by Erika Lewis
What if Slytherin had claimed Harry Potter? This is the world of Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts. What starts as a typically human tale of a museum field trip with a thick-skinned Bostonian foster child transmogrifies into a magical and possibly sinister trial-of-skill in the Celtic realm of fae and fury.
Kelcie Murphy remembers nothing of her childhood. Shuffled between foster homes in the bitter northeast, her only connection to her life before is the curious pendant strung around her neck. When she is carted away by authorities during a school field trip, she discovers an artifact that is not on display - and for good reason. It’s possible that while wrestling with freezing fae and her understanding of reality in the bowels of the museum, she may have been tricked into incanting a spell that opens a kind of eye of Sauron situation and names her as an heir to a frightening, perhaps world-annihilating power.
Thus she is transported to the Otherworld. Which it turns out, is her true home. On the hunt for her parents, she discovers that she may actually have some powers of her own. But to stay in this world, she first has to get into the Academy of Unbreakable Arts.
With school dens, a whole new magical system and a world steeped in Celtic lore, this is the type of book we need right now: fun, transporting and fantastic.
Run, don’t walk, to get this delightful new magical middle grade debut which will appeal to YA fans and a crossover audience as well! I can’t wait for book 2!

The Harry Potter Series
by J.K. Rowling
I have never posted about the seven-book magical phenomenon because I suppose I assumed that implicit in being a reader is having read Harry Potter and the (insert item here), perhaps even multiple times.
I just spent the last month rereading the series, finishing, all too appropriately, on July 31st, the birthday of our reluctant hero. Considering Rowling started writing them in 1990, with The Sorcerer’s Stone published in 1997 and the final installment, The Deathly Hallows, published in 2007, they hold up incredibly well over the past, oh, 20 years. I read each book as it was released originally, have seen the films dozens of times, and still, rereading them, I was fully immersed in Rowling’s unparalleled world-building, character-crafting and plot twists.
These books are simply a joy to read.
And don’t be fooled if you are one of the hold-out adults from the series. The prose has a lot of integrity and is peppered with sage advice without being dogmatic.
And for those of you out there who have only seen the films, bibliophiles may always say this, but the books are still better. As well-cast and excellently-imagined as the films are, they cannot compare with the specificity and magic of the books. There are, indeed, whole plot lines and characters left out of the films - bits of information, I, too, forgot from my initial reads.
So, if you want a highly satisfying and swift read, incant, “AccioThe Sorcerer’s Stone!” After all, books are the closest to magic muggles like us can hope for.

The Dream Daughter
by Diane Chamberlain
I have been trying to pin down exactly what is so unique about this genre-crossing piece. As a time travel story, it bleeds from sci-fi into a domestic tale into a historical reexamination. It is a reinvented Time Traveler’s Wife with a mother/ daughter relationship at its center, steeped in the conflicted history of Vietnam. I read it over the course of a few afternoons, but now, weeks later, I think I’ve finally teased out what is so insightful and perspective-altering about The Dream Daughter:
Itbegins in the past.
So many time travel stories begin in the present and the characters revisit the past or leap to the future. In this, our protagonist’s present is the past and as a result, we as readers are immersed in an entirely different storytelling perspective.
This is one for which the cover doesn’t feel quite right for some reason, so don’t judge this book by its cover. It’s deeper, more nuanced and more timeless than the image suggests.
Diane Chamberlain plots twists and reveals across the span of half a century. Surprising, unexpected, and thoroughly enjoyable, The Dream Daughter will appeal to light historical fiction and light sci-fi fans alike.
*B3 would like to thank @stmartinspress for the ARC!
