Episode 129: A Dark and Starless Forest by Sarah Hollowell

Published: July 8, 2022, 5 a.m.

Andi and Lise really, really enjoyed author Sarah Hollowell\u2019s Locus-nominated YA fantasy, A Dark and Starless Forest (2021), which deals with a group of young women and girls, each with specific magical gifts, who are cloistered in a house near a mysterious forest, overseen by a man whose true motivations are suspect. Told from the POV of one of the young women, this is a wonderfully crafted novel that will definitely leave you thinking long after you\u2019ve finished it the first time (and second\u2026and third\u2026). Highly recommend!\xa0

Shout-outs: Lise has been spending a lot of time with binoculars spying on her frog ponds from her back windows, watching tadpoles turn into polliwogs turn into froglets and finally, FROGS! Andi appreciates spying on nature, as she was doing the same with this year\u2019s group of Canada goose goslings inhabiting a nearby river bank. Both Andi and Lise highly recommend checking out nature as you can.\xa0
