Olivia Atwater writes whimsical historical fantasy with a hint of satire. She lives in Montreal, Quebec with her fantastic, prose-inspiring husband and her two cats. When she told her second-grade history teacher that she wanted to work with history someday, she is fairly certain this isn't what either party had in mind. She has been, at various times, a historical re-enactor, a professional witch at a metaphysical supply store, a web developer, and a vending machine repairperson.

The Last Gifts of the Universe is wistful, loving, and indescribably beautiful. I'd call it required reading for the end of the world.

While I do read science-fiction on occasion, it takes a truly amazing science-fiction novel for me to really dig in.

Dreadful was an absolutely magnificent comedic fantasy with a hint of bite. This book was a witty, empathetic, and genuinely funny meditation on the nature of good and evil. It was easily one of the best books I've read this year.

(This review was originally posted on Queen's Book Asylum.)

Empire of Shadows is a page-turning historical romp with very similar energy to The Mummy.

Though the novel takes place in Honduras, it has all of the same humour and swashbuckling adventure.

Quotes by Olivia Atwater  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I have known many human beings with a full soul to their name who do not have half so much compassion or practicality as you.”
Olivia Atwater, Half a Soul

“There is such a thing as evil in this world,” Elias told her quietly. “It does not help to look away from it. It does not even help, necessarily, to look at it.” His fingers brushed through her hair, and she shivered. “But sometimes, when you cannot force the world to come to its senses, you must settle only for wiping away some of the small evils in front of you.”
Olivia Atwater, Half a Soul

“She had little effort to spare for making unpleasant men more comfortable.”
Olivia Atwater, Half a Soul
