While poking through Netgalley one day, I noticed this book. It was published by 47 North, which is Amazon’s spec-fiction publishing arm, and I’ve had good experiences with their publications in the past (Jeff Wheeler, Craig Schaefer, Mitchell Hogan and so forth), so I thought I’d give it a blast. There was one caveat – while I had heard plenty […]
Heart of Defiance by Ryan Kirk
I received a free audio copy from the author with the option of providing an honest review. As the idea of being dishonest is anathema to me, this will in now alter my opinion. This is the story of Bai, a young woman who wakes to find her village destroyed and many of the people dead. As one does, she […]
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. […]
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 […]
City of Kings by Rob J Hayes
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 […]
Review – The Coyote Chronicles by Anton Le Roy
I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. So here goes: I have to be honest, I hadn’t heard of this one before the author contacted me. Of course, this doesn’t really mean anything as far as the book is concerned. It had good ratings, so I thought I’d give it a blast, and […]
Review – The Written by Ben Galley
Farden is one of the written, a mage with his book of magic etched into his skin. Despite being spurned by almost everybody, Farden spends his days protecting those who fear him. However, when a dangerous spell book is stolen, Farden gets sent to face an old enemy of his people looking for help. Can he obtain the help his […]
The Three of Swords by Michael Jason Brandt
The author was very kind to throw a copy of his audiobook for Three of Swords for me. There were no expectations of a review, nor were my opinions altered by this. I also have the e-book, but opted for the audio version to jump my TBR. That’s the disclaimer bit out of the way. Now onto the review! The […]
