I received a free audible copy from the author with the expectation of an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. Tom Rigsby is a successful owner of a paint supply store. He is a widowed father, lives with his sister and has a semi-serious girlfriend. While his life has certainly not been all fun and games, these […]
Wraith Knight by CT Phipps
So here’s the thing. I actually bought the e-book of Wraith Knight about a million years ago, but the author also gave me a free audio copy with no expectation of a review. I think I might have won it in some Facebook contest on his page. I’ll still review it though. As I’m terrible at lying about stuff, the […]
A Five Star Rant
Before I churn out another word of a review- I’d like to add that I am again changing my review style. Why, you say? Well, here’s the rub. I like or love books for different reasons. Some may be knockout potential award-winning novels, while some may be “mere” entertainment for entertainment’s sake. I might love them equally for completely different […]
Upon the Flight of the Queen by Howard Andrew Jones
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. I read For the Killing of Kings way back in February 2019, and I remember my air of trepidation going into it, as I had read a couple of ho-hum books from Netgalley prior. However, in spite of my concerns […]
Chains of Blood by ML Spencer
I received a free copy from the author in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. We return to the fantastic world of the Rhenwars Saga, except in the not-so distant future. The Well of Tears is no more, as are Darien Lauchlin and Kyel Archer – one died a hero, the other a demon. […]
Pale Kings by Micah Yongo
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. You know when a car breaks down, and you push it to give the engine a jump. Well, at the start, it’s flippin’ hard, and you wonder if you’ll ever get the thing moving. Then the car starts to roll […]
The Dragon Republic by RF Kuang
Seeing as I normally have to thank Netgalley or the author for an ARC, this time I’d like to thank my local library for having this one, and to just thank libraries in general. Use your local library, people (where possible). Anyway, I read the first book in this series a good while back (also thanks to my library), and […]
The True Bastards by Jonathan French
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. I loved The Grey Bastards. Despite being chock full of Tolkien creatures, this was no trope-fest. Instead, it was an utter blast, a refreshing fantasy adventure that kept the reader enthralled (en-trolled?) from start to finish. When I heard The […]
The Bone Ships by RJ Barker
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. I have to be honest, I’ve never read anything by RJ Barker before, despite his presence on my TBF. As a result, I didn’t know quite what to expect. I’d heard good stuff, but we all fell into that trap […]
The Noise of War by Vincent B Davis II
I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. The City of Kings is the newest novel in the First Earth Saga, in a world Rob J Hayes has been building for a long time. If you haven’t read the author’s work before, have no […]
