Fortunate to get an ARC for an Honest Review for The Tide That Binds us by Alexis Maness. Omg! It was a wild emotional ride for me. I loved it for what the Novella is because it was a holographic mermaid dream come true. It was short, simple, and I gave it a five-star because I was very invested with the story, and omg! The AESTHETICS we're gorgeous! Never have I ever read a strong female lead with seafoam green hair. And omg yes! This novella reminded me how much I love them mermaids! It has: R...

Was lucky to get an ARC for The Magic Thief by AK Mulford. IT WAS AMAZING. The characters were beautifully written and I loved their relationships with each other. Especially Val and Tesh's friendship, and the Lesbian Girlfriends that would risk anything for each other. I'm looking forward to the anthology and to reading the rest of the Novellas!

I received an ARC of The Magic Thief from AK Mumford. AK’s short stories are always full of magic, action, and romance, and this was no exception. It also features a plus sized main character and a sapphic romance. All around really fun and entertaining read!

I read The Magic Thief by AK Mulford as an ARC and part of this anthology. I love her writing it's the perfect amount of description. I'm rating this 4.5 stars, and the only thing I didn't love was the villain reminded me too much of Gargamel from the smurfs, and it took away from the other characters win for me.Everything else was top notch! Valkyrie, Teshi and Respyn are likable characters, female, flawed but hold immense love, they represent the misfits of the world. I definitely would love t...

4.5/5 StarsRep : Plus Sized, POC, & Sapphic18+I was given this ARC from the author for an honest review of this novella, The Magic Thief.

Ten short stories with spectacular glimpses into the worlds, lives, and romances of plus size women in fantasy. Each story is unique in its own right and takes the genre of Romantasy to another level. I thoroughly enjoyed the the complete pieces, the ones with full character arcs and HEAs. My curiosity was also piqued with stories that served as prequels or introductions to other series! I appreciated the diversity in body types, characters, and writing style. As a queer reviewer, it was also am...

I was so excited to receive an ARC for one of the novellas in this anthology (The Magic Thief by AK Mulford) and it was all I needed to be immediately hooked. I'm a huge fantasy reader and I love the genre, but it's hard to find strong, independent female characters. Add to that plus size characters who take charge of their own story and sprinkle in romance? I'm sold. This anthology is quickly becoming one of my favorite fantasy stories on my book shelf and now I've discovered a whole other list...

Val our MC and her sidekick companion Teshi are enslaved to a sorcerer and are forced to steal magic to survive! But when they run into a certain someone from their past the job goes sideways. Spice and chaos unfold as they fight for not only their freedom but for what could be. ❤️

I received an advanced reader’s copy of A.K. “The Magic Thief” which is short fantasy sapphic romance. I really appreciated how Valkiri was a plus size main character because a lot of the female protagonists out in the fiction world are lacking in diversity. That is one thing I love about Aly is her ability to write a wide range of characters that are extremely lovable and realistic. Way to go A.K! Another hot out of the park!

I was lucky to be sent an ARC for The Magic Thief by AK Mulford - a story which is included in this anthology. If Mulford’s work is but a taste of what the other authors came up with the anthology will be superb. AK Mulford crafts such a highly entertaining story that develops well in the short format. The characters feel full, despite us not knowing as much about them as we would like! (Give us a full story, AK! The prequel, what happens next?! Anything!!) The story itself is wonderful if only

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for The Magic Thief by AK Mulford, a part of this anthology. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!!The chance to read about a kick-ass main character with my body type is amazing, I can't imagine what it would have been like to grow up with stories like these. Valkiri is an inspiration, she refuses to let the "skinny gaze" effect her, she owns who she is. I can't wait to see what Ali does with these characters next, please tell me there will be more?!I'm ea...

I was extremely lucky to get a ARC copy of The Magic Thief novella by AK Mulford. This was a exciting ride that grabbed you from the first page. An “ugly elf” and a “beautiful goblin” and a sapphic giantess? Sign me right up. This was so much fun and I REALLY hope she does a full length version of their adventures! Curvy main character, realistically curvy too not just big thighs+ little waist. The representation in this book was unmatched and I was left wanting more! This was phenomenal and I c...

I was fortunate to receive an ARC for one of the stories featured in this book “The Magic Thief” by AK Mulford. The story follows an unlikely pair (that really couldn’t be a more perfect pairing) Valkiri and Teshi. They are branded and forced to do the bidding of an evil sorcerer despite their attempts to flee… until they are reunited with a past flame of Valkiri’s, then everything shifts. The story is full of adventure and spice too! I appreciate that finally there is a fantasy story where the
