It’s that time of the year, and the list of 2025 Notable Books is up at Ancillary Review of Books today. I picked Kate Elliott’s new The Witch Roads duology for my choice, and having finished it a few weeks back, I can say that The Nameless Land is just as good as the first book. Plus, Elliott has signed a contract for two more books in the setting, which is exciting.

With that said, Happy Holidays! It’s time for me to withdraw into my cookies and cheese cave and try to power through 10 more books before the end of the year.
