Book Review | Pride and Prejudice in Space (ARC)

On October 12, 2024November 7, 2024 By Jenny A1 Comment

I received an advance reader’s copy (ARC) of Pride and Prejudice in Space by Alexis Lampley.

In The Other Merlin by Robin Schneider, Emry Merlin is used to being overshadowed—by her father, the court wizard to King Uther Pendragon, and by her twin brother, trained in magic despite his mediocre talent. She had to beg her father to teach her anything, because in their society, girls don’t learn magic. So after …
