| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Philippa Gregory's The Last Tudor is one of three starred fiction titles this week. "An ideal companion to Leanda de Lisle’s The Sisters Who Would Be Queen, Gregory’s first-person perspective on late Tudor England’s turbulent history will delight existing and future fans." In nonfiction, Ellen Ullman's Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology is "recommended for those who have worked in the tech fields or are interested in doing so and anyone intrigued by technology and its implications." In graphic novels, Moonshine, by Brian Azzarello, with illustrations by Eduardo Risso and others, "stands up against Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta’s Outcast with its supernatural and voodoo witchcraft elements. Recommended for anyone interested in fantasy-tinged mob thrillers who are not turned away by foul language or gore." And this week's starred e-original is The Ruin of a Rake, by Cat Sebastian. "Sebastian (The Lawrence Browne Affair) might use the well-worn opposites-attract trope to get her lovers together, but her mastery of conflict, tension, and timing along with flawless characterization and sexual attraction turn The Ruin of a Rake into a unique and entrancing romance that touches the heart deeper than most."
