Perspective, point of view and what this story really is are at the heart of the book and what it is trying to accomplish, on top of a strong fantasy story and tale.
A Book by its Cover is a (renewed) quasi-monthly joke column featuring a review based on the cover and nothing else.
I adored C.L. Polk’s Even Though I Knew the End, a sapphic noir novella set in an urban fantasy version of 1941 Chicago. It opens strongly, unwraps the mystery as a relationship drama unfolds, and includes some breathtaking prose along the way.
As an own voices reader, it’s always exciting to discover a promising book that draws from my culture.

Shaun Duke, Alex Acks, and Becca Evans join forces to take down Gods of Egypt (2016). Together, they get thirsty over Gerard Butler, discuss Egyptian mythology and bodily fluids, and generally have a merry time trying to make sense of this ridiculous movie. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
