The Beesong Chronicles is the work that brings Benjamin Medrano onto this page, and it arrives in bulk: an omnibus gathering the opening run of the series into a single recording rather than doling it out volume by volume.
We shelve it under LGBTQ+, and that is not decoration; queer characters sit at the centre of the story rather than at its edges. The rest is fantasy of the world-building sort, with a transformed heroine, a system of rules to learn and a cast that widens as the arc goes on. About the author we say nothing we cannot support, which on this evidence means a writer content to work at length and in sequence.
