Those of you who have read my previous reviews will no doubt be aware of how much I enjoyed this author’s Ragnarok Era series, which told of the events leading up to the death and rebirth of the world, ergo the eschaton cycle, from the perspective of the Norse gods who tried to prevent it. Now we have the same […]
Review – For the Killing of Kings by Howard Andrew Jones
So, lately I’ve been trying to be choosier with my Netgalley choices. Over the next couple of months I’ve signed up for way more books than I had planned, and then there’s also a couple of authors whose work I genuinely like and read ARCs for. Then there’s my TBR. Anyway, I read a couple of previous Netgalley efforts that […]
Review – Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames
Remember Kings of the Wyld? What a blast that was. Laugh-out-loud funny, some epic fight scenes and what amounted to a trip down memory lane for many of us. If you’re expecting, or demanding, more of the same with Bloody Rose, you could end up disappointed. Sure, it’s set in the same world, bringing back a lot of the same […]
Review – The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons
**Disclaimer – I got an eArc from Netgalley, and I have no idea if I actually got the entire book. I did get 21 chapters though, so consider it a review of that, if nothing else. With that in mind – here’s the review.** The Ruin of Kings tells the tale of Kihrin, a thief turned slave (upward mobility?) whose […]
Review – The Gutter Prayer by Gareth Hanrahan
So, it looks like there’s a new sheriff in town. There was a lot of talk about The Gutter Prayer pre-release – best debut of 2019 and so forth. “Hang on,” you say. “Best debut of 2019? In January? Isn’t that a bit, well, premature?” Still, I was sold. I’m not necessarily a “believe the hype” type, but I grabbed […]
Review – Grim Solace by Ben Galley
Chasing Graves was one of my favourite books of 2018, so there’s always an air of trepidation regarding whether the follow-up can maintain the quality, especially when it’s the midpoint of a trilogy. Well, never fear. Not only does the author keep up the pace, but he ups the ante, setting up a potentially blockbuster end to the series. Caltro, […]
Review – Warrior of the World by Jeffe Kennedy
I don’t remember what I was doing that day, but for some reason I went against my usual rules and picked up a second book that was part three in a series. I guess I could have not read it (gasp!), but it was short, and turned out to be rather enjoyable. In addition, the author wrote it in a […]
Review – Gates of the Dead by James A Moore
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 […]
Review – The Harrowing of Twilight by JM Guillen
***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 […]
