I thought I made a mistake on this one. I’ve been interested in checking out James A Moore for a while now, but I didn’t realise it was the third in the series, and usually I prefer to go with a series from the start. Turned out to be less of a concern than I thought, as the author did […]
Continuing on my historical fantasy kick, on the heels of Son of Zeus I now have fellow god-titled novel Athena’s Champion. After professing my love for Heracles in the earlier review, this follows the early exploits of another favourite, Odysseus. For those who’ve read the Iliad and the Odyssey, or those who haven’t, some scholars believe the two stories to […]
Before I ramble on, let me just add that is a joint effort between (mostly) sci-fi author Rhett Bruno and Jaime Castle, who writes (mostly) fantasy. I’m not always sure of the dynamics of two authors creating a joint effort, but our intrepid duo seem to have this one under control. I read Web of Eyes, the first part of the Buried […]
***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.*** I […]
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 […]

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 […]
