Red Sister was one of my absolute favorite books from 2017, so it's no surprise that I've been clamoring to read this one for what feels like an absolute age (a year just flies by, unless you're thinking about the next book you want to read coming out, I guess!) Well, it is finally time!... Continue Reading →
Review: The Automation by Anonymous (Narrated by BLA and Annotated by GB Gabbler)
So, you can probably already tell that this book is going to be a little bizarre. Let me assure you it's a bit more than a little bizarre. I've had this book on my review requests pile for a long, long time, but, guys the review requests pile isn't a large looming unsteady jenga-esque tower... Continue Reading →
Review: Fionn – The Stalking Silence by Brian O’Sullivan
So, it actually took me longer to write and format this post than it did to read this short story. 😀 I really quite enjoy the realism of the Fionn series. It's still modern enough to understand, but it has a gritty could-actually-have-happened in a way realness to it that immerses me in each story.... Continue Reading →
Review: Mestlven by Jesse Teller
This has been on my review requests pile for an age, but I've put it off because... uh, well the Perilisc books, if you're unfamiliar, are fairly dark. Like... seriously horrorish dark. And I was not in a good place for really-really-dark until... quarter past 2 days ago >.>; So here we are! I was... Continue Reading →
Review: The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts
I've read another Peter Watts book before, and it was quite fascinating while being at least a little fun (it was Blindsight, if you're curious, which caught my interest by having a not-your-typical-vampire spaceship captain - and yes that was as amazing as it sounds). So, when I saw this one on NetGalley, I put... Continue Reading →
Review: The Eagle’s Flight by Daniel E. Olesen
The TBR of Babel is getting legitimately smaller, guys, and this is so, so exciting! XD Peace in the Seven Realms of Adalmearc is only as strong as those who rule them. With the death of the high king and his heir too young to assume the throne, political intrigues fill the landscape as the... Continue Reading →
Review: The Fifth Empire of Man by Rob J. Hayes
Oh pirates. I love you! There really needs to be more piratical fantasy in the world. Luckily, this series didn't stop with the first book! The Pirate Isles are united under Drake Morrass’ flag, but the war has only just begun. There’s still a long way to go before he’s able to call himself King. ... Continue Reading →
Review: The Vale: Behind the Vale by Brian D. Anderson
This book was one that I had seen the cover of in various facebook groups in which I am a member, and it looked intriguing, so I added it to the TBR of Babel. I wasn't expecting to be offered a review copy of it, but then again, I'm never really expecting review copies of... Continue Reading →
Review: Sir Thomas the Hesitant and the Table of Less Valued Knights
This is one of those books that I hadn't really heard of until a few people in my sphere (it's more of a rhombus, really) of social media were talking about it and I read a review or two.... and said to myself - 'I need this book in my life!' The author was then... Continue Reading →
Review: Gedlund by William Ray
I was offered a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review, and I happily accepted, because it sounded really interesting! To the north sits Thyesten, the ancient Lich King of Gedlund. He has banished death, and for countless centuries ruled a land where ghosts, vampires, and other wicked... Continue Reading →
