Review of Robin Cassini, “A Spell for Summer,” Luna Station Quarterly 63 (September 2025): 323-334 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
It’s not often I come across a story that really needed another hard pass of editing before it is released into the wild, but alas, this was one: The non-systematic switching between past and present tense really nagged at me and made it difficult to get properly stuck into the story.
I’m not sure, however, how easy I would’ve found that, even without the issues: It’s a story of a young girl who’s lost her heart to a boy who is a bit of a player, and maybe it’s just that it’s been a long time since I was a teenager, but these kinds of stories aren’t really for me.
