The Candy House

The Candy House further extends the interwoven narratives in A Visit from the Goon Squad, mirroring the endless ways our connections expand and shift through time and space and culture, and capturing how dizzyingly fast and profound those shifts have felt in the ten-ish years since Goon Squad was published. I love the way all of Egan’s characters radiate with intensity, and the sometimes reckless urgency of their explorations, their quests for experience, for knowledge, for connection, for meaning. I love also that her variety of styles amplifies the range of perspectives and pursuits. The Candy House is a thrilling, thoughtful, and eloquent affirmation of the power and value of authentic experience, true human connection, and the ways in which they are enabled through art and storytelling.–Sara, Atlanta

Sylvanas

Sylvanas Windrunner is my favorite character from World of Warcraft so I knew I needed to read Sylvanas as soon as I heard that she was getting her own book and I was not disappointed. Well, I was disappointed that it was only 400 pages. In her self-titled book Sylvanas walks us through her history beginning with her childhood at Windrunner Spire. She paints a picture of family, love and loss, victory and defeat, and the key moments in her life that made her Ranger-General of the Farstriders, the Banshee Queen, Warchief of the Horde, and most recently, an ally to the Jailer. Her triumphs are celebrated and her faults are laid bare. She is a powerful tactician and leader, but her single-minded ambitions may be her downfall. This was such an interesting story that helped me understand the reasoning behind some of her more controversial actions and the lengths she will go to achieve her goals. If you are also a huge Sylvanas fan, then I would also recommend Arthas by Christie Golden. –Rebecca, Atlanta
