Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: amnesia! Naturally, it doesn’t work in real life the same way it does in countless soap operas, sitcoms, or comic books, but it’s still an intriguing storytelling device.
Canopus Volume One by Dave Chisholm
When she wakes up on a seemingly abandoned world, Helen remembers only two things: her ship needs repairs, and she needs to get back to Earth, now. As she works to fix her ship, her memories slowly start to return, and the story they tell may be more complicated and dangerous than she is prepared to handle.
A Witch’s Guide to Burning by Aminder Dhaliwal
Yew-Veda, a witch doctor, saves a young witch named Singe from being burned at the stake, but she is not quick enough to stop all of the fire’s effects — namely, its destruction of Singe’s powers and memories. Now, it’s up to Singe, Yew-Veda, and the toad Bufo Wonder to get those powers back before it’s too late!
