I kind of hate these things. I read so many books, and like them for different reasons. Trying to quantify them for a list such as this is not only hard, but almost unfair to the other books I liked. I’m going to try and put them some in some semblance of order, but just because one is numerically superior […]
***Take note people – due to a booboo on behalf of the ARC provider, who shall remain nameless due to their usual awesomeness, the review for The Herald of Autumn is actually based on The Harrowing of Twilight and vice versa. Rather than rewrite both reviews (due to laziness), please consider that when reading criticisms. Both books are well worth reading.*** Tommy […]
I’ve been a big fan of mythology my whole reading life. Didn’t matter what culture it came from, it was all good. This year, I’ve got to read some versions of my old favourites like the Norse Eschaton Cycle and Robin Hood, except they’ve had a dark twist that the legends deserve. Now, it’s the turn of Heracles (that’s right, […]
So, who’s heard of portal fantasy? I can’t honestly say I’ve ever read any before this year, and this is my second in a few months, having read and reviewed The New Magic by Joseph Malik a while back. There are similarities that were likely more to do with the sub-genre than anything else, so I’m not going to bother […]
I picked this one up ages ago, and it’s been languishing on my TBR ever since. Then a few days ago I heard it was a semi-finalist for the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off, which is run by the venerable Mark Lawrence and has churned out some gems over it’s short life. Having read this, I can see this being […]
Warning – I’ve been reading this series since book one, so in the interest of my own sanity, I’m just going to review this episode. If you want to read about the others, you can look back at my other reviews on Goodreads, As for this one, there will be some spoilers. The earth is on its last legs. Global […]
I’ve been meaning to get on the Ben Galley bandwagon for a while now, but my immense TBR has continued to hinder my attempts. When I got a chance at an ARC with a (hooray!) deadline, I finally got to check out one of the best self-published authors out there. So here goes – In the Arctian Empire, the gods […]
Not Me: Dude, you’re reading a lot of books lately? Don’t you have other stuff to do? Me (Looks at all the stuff I should be doing): Um, nope? Okay, onto Bird Box. If any of you follow me on Goodreads or Twitter, you may notice I started reading Josh Malerman’s apocalyptic horror a couple of days ago. well. it’s […]
**AUDIOBOOK AND MINOR SPOILER WARNING** I was only commenting recently on how tough it can be the middle book in a trilogy. THIS is the middle book in a trilogy (Legend of the Gods), and the author pretty much nails it. Alana has been taken by Quinn to the Tsar’s palace, much to her surprise, and there are more surprises […]
My third foray into the the author’s Harbinger series, and boy was it good. Oh, by the way, there are some minor spoilers. Cettie is now settled as keeper of Fog Willows, with the her role even more important as Fitzroy is away leading the war effort against Kingsfountain. Sera has been ostracised and has been living under the watchful […]
