I just reviewed The Last Rhee Witch by @jennaleeyun.bsky.social. Summer camp + witches! 🧹 Such a good read for the middle schooler in your life (or the 40 yr old)! 😉

The Ignyte Awards and speculative fiction in general do not exist in a vacuum. While we are here in the spirit of celebration, we are also here in the dual spirits of community and solidarity. Thank you to everyone putting their bodies on the line for the preservation of our collective humanity.
