November 13, 2024 Book Reviews Science Fiction & Fantasy “C.P. Du Toit’s A Certain Slant of Light is a refreshing and imaginative addition to the fantasy romance genre. With rich characterization and detailed world-building that blends African and European influences, the story of Sahle—a reluctant queen grappling with destiny and self-discovery—offers a compelling mix of adventure, magic, and political intrigue. As Sahle’s journey progresses, the novel’s vibrant setting, historical echoes, and themes of identity, power, and legacy make it a thought-provoking and engaging read.” —Erin Britton, Seattle Book Review
