Ohhhh Chronicles of the Black Gate. The kind of books that, upon hearing that the 4th book in the series is released, I immediately drop everything I'm doing and pick it up. Yep, that happened. Witcher 3 - dropped. Other books that I was thinking of starting - dropped. I wished I could have dropped... Continue Reading →
Review: The Cycle of Arawn by Edward W. Robertson
Yeeep, the whole thing. An entire trilogy (I promise I won't spoil any of it.) That's how this audiobook comes. Firstly, I wasn't expecting to actually sit here and listen to the entire thing at once (I didn't. I have far too much ADD for that nonsense) - But, I still managed to listen to... Continue Reading →
Review: Written in Red by Anne Bishop
Gods above and below, I love me some Urban Fantasy. I always seem to forget this fact, and get into accidental long stretches of not reading UF stuff. Every time a book in one of the UF series I follow comes out, it'll be a reminder that I should definitely consume some more. Written in... Continue Reading →
Review: Fionn – Defence of Ráth Bládhma by Brian O’Sullivan
Another SPFBO finalist makes its way into my eyes this week! This one is based on actual Irish mythology, specifically the Fenian Cycle, specifically-specifically The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn, which is something like a retelling of the early life of the mythological hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. Also, firstly, I'm going to straight-up apologize in advance for... Continue Reading →
Review: Fae – The Realm of Twilight by Graham Austin-King
I listened to the first volume of this series in audio late last year and so then immediately hoped and hoped for a volume two audiobook- and LO AND BEHOLD, IT IS HERE! I'm going to keep this as spoiler-free for both books as I can. The Wyrde is dead and gone, its protection passed... Continue Reading →
RetroReview: Senlin Ascends & Arm of the Sphinx by Josiah Bancroft
It's been a while since I reviewed anything. I don't want you lot thinking I fell off the face of the earth (just kidding, pretty much everyone who reads this blog follows me on twitter where I have not been spending the last week retweeting pictures of puppies and have definitely not been live tweeting my Mass Effect...

Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
I didn't even have to read the entire blurb for this one to know that this book was right up my alley. Much like Jonathan French's The Grey Bastards, any book filled with a group of dudes just fighting and cursing up a storm is something I'm actively interested in reading. This particular romp been...

Review: Forsaken by Eric S. Fomley
It's definitely time for some short story audiobook shenanigans! I was given a copy of this audiobook for free by the author to have a listen and to review it. What better time to do that then freaking immediately, amirite? It is a part of a longer series of short stories, but this part isn't... Continue Reading →
Review: Soulstone – Awakening by J.A. Cipriano
Nerd alert! If you weren't aware, I'm a bit of a gamer... Okay, more than a bit, lol. I met my husband on World of Warcraft, FFS. >.> So, I'm okay with a books about video games. The whole LitRPG genre is very popular in Japan, Korea, and Russia and it seems to be sort... Continue Reading →
Review: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
Last year, he announced that he had written a book of Norse Mythology, and the world rejoiced (well, I mean... I rejoiced. I assume others out there did too. I don't keep track of the *whole* world). And so the audiobook was preordered (because I will -always- listen to a Neil Gaiman book in audio... Continue Reading →
