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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. I’ve always had a thing for dystopian fiction, and near future efforts in particular. When this one popped up on Netgalley, I jumped at the chance. And it was a good one. Cloud is a massive fictional online retailer which […]

A malfunctioning ship forced its occupants to land on a planet, where they’ve been stuck ever since, hoping to find the right materials to get back to their […]
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. Silas Bershad is an exile, his land taken from him and he is cast adrift as a dragonslayer, a career with a short shelf-life. Bershad proves to be remarkably capable,and 14 years and 65 dragons later, he’s still kicking around. […]
A Doctor Who book, written by my favourite Doctor, Tom Baker. Seriously, what could possibly go wrong? The answer? Not a lot, really. When the Doctor, shrewd Sarah Jane Smith and abbable but daft Harry Sullivan show up on a remote island somewhere off the coast of Great Britain (it’s never quite clear where), they think it’s for a well-earned […]
Black Creek, a time-spanning novel featuring a battle between powerful beings who roughly equate good and evil, without it being that simple. Also has dinosaurs. Sound good? Here’s my take.
