Book Review: THE STARVING SAINTS by Caitlin Starling

Cover of The Starving Saints, by Caitlin Starling, with a nun figure holding up a screen with little plants growing on it, with clawlike hands, but the face is like a vidscreen showing several women's faces, and there's a gold halo-like circle behind the head.

Baby animals: Pictures, gifs, videos… It doesn’t matter! Kittens and big cat cubs are a given for me, especially pictures of my own little (not so much anymore – see below) guy, but the carefree innocence of baby animals playing is a sure way to get my mood back to good. Some of my faves are baby elephants, foxes, pandas, and goats (in pajamas!)
