The time has come for yet another #SFINCS review! I've never read a noir greek mythology mystery, but it was certainly a fun combination.

Full review ⬇️
weirdereviews.blogspot.com/2025/10/serv...
On the left is the cover for Servant of the Muses by Brad A White On the left it says Genre: Greek mythological mystery t was a dark and stormy night when I started ready Servant of the Muses, and this novella was just the thing to complete the evening. I love noir vibes in a fantasy story, and White really hit the nail on the head with bringing in that kind of atmosphere to this story. While I don’t know a ton about Greek mythos and it’s usually not the kind of thing I reach for, I though the presence of the muses and Jake’s knowledge of the gods lead to a very interesting mystery with high stakes. I wasn’t a huge fan of the way Jake talked about Erato and other women, but he never did anything untoward to any of them and the language used is very much ‘of the time’ that the book is set in. If you enjoy noir mysteries and greek mythology, this novella is an excellent melding of the two.

Are you looking for your next fantasy read? Do you love queernormative settings, rich worldbuilding, and corrupted magic? Well look no further my friend! My debut novel Songs of Broken Bells was published today!

lillylockwood.carrd.co#songsofbroke...
The softcover of Songs of Broken Bells displayed on a wooden counter with bells on gold and white ribbon hanging to the left of it. Text at the top says “Available now!” Text surrounding the book says “meddling saints, corrupted magic, queernormative setting, the real adventure was the therapy we got along the way, found family, F/F and M/NB romances, paying the price” Text at the bottom of the picture “50% of revenue Oct 17-24 will be donated to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund” Cover description: It features the four main characters arranged in a diamond formation, a stained glass design at the top with a sun on one side and shadows on the other, and a string of cracked bells on the sides. Liadan is at the bottom, holding up a candle. She has orange skin, silver hair, black rams horns, and black markings on her arms. She's wearing a green cloak and a yellow dress. Vasil is to her left. He is also holding a candle. Vasil has brown skin with a bark-like texture with patches of paler skin and moss. His hair is brown and curly. He is wearing a green caftan with yellow filigree. Minno is on the right, also holding a candle. They have pale skin, blonde hair with braided sideburns, and round framed glasses. They are wearing a white shirt with part of their kilt (in a brown and blue tartan) draped over one shoulder. Aila is behind the other three characters with her wings wrapped around them. She has pink skin, magenta hair styled in pigtail braids, and small pointed horns. She has a red scarf. Cover art by heavenlystarr (Yune)
