Hot on the heels of reading listening to my first ever Warhammer book, I read listened to my second. NOW I understand the popularity. Bear in mind that the target audience for this book is folks who love Warhammer and have a far greater knowledge of its universe than I do. I had to do a little research for this […]
We Men of Ash and Shadow by HL Tinsley
This is my third review for Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week, and this time around I’m introducing a debut author – I got this ARC from Booksprout, essentially Netgalley for self-published authors. I don’t use them often, but I have found some gems there – like this book. This is the first book by the author, HL Tinsley, who has done […]
God of Broken Things by Cameron Johnston
I reviewed the excellent The Traitor God back in 2020, so, based on my current rate of reviewing, I probably read it in 1920. However, despite reading the book in the previous millennium, I remember it well as it was great. The God of Broken Things, the sequel and seemingly final book in the series, is even better. In TTG, […]
The Rage of Dragons, by Evan Winter
This book was busy making a name for itself in 2019, so when it popped up in my library, I decided to jump in and see what all the fuss was about. This “African” (the diversity of cultures in that continent make this a broad statement) based fantasy revolves around Tau, a young lower class man, who embarks on a […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
A Wizard’s Forge by AM Justice
I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. In the future, humankind has reached the stars. 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 […]
