Need a reason to celebrate? Who doesn’t these days?  Let’s commemorate and celebrate (some of the) authors whose birthdays occur in May and whose works provide endless consolation and inspiration in the best and worst of times.  So, lift a glass (and a book) to the following literary lights:

This week I’m reviewing “Middlegame” by Seanan McGuire, published by Tor in May, 2019. Here’s how Tor bills it:

“New York Times bestselling and Alex, Nebula, and Hugo-Award-winning author Seanan McGuire introduces readers to a world of amoral alchemy, shadowy organizations, and impossible cities in the standalone fantasy, Middlegame.”
