This one had such a beautiful cover and an interesting premise that I jumped on it as soon as I had the chance. This review is much later than I wanted, but I couldn't skip it! Thanks to the author as well as Tordotcom for the review copy! A magical detective dives into the affairs... Continue Reading →
Review: The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean
I've heard a lot of good things about this book, and so when given the opportunity to have an early listen to the audiobook, I jumped right at the chance! So thanks to the author, as well as Macmillan Audio/Tor Books via NetGalley for the audiobook review copy. Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a... Continue Reading →
Review: Master of Sorrows by Justin Call
I've had this book on my shelf for an embarrassing amount of time, with a bookmark in it on page one and everything. I even bought this from Book Depository before it was released in the US. Turns out that I have very, very little unscheduled time for reading print books these days though, so... Continue Reading →
Review: Short Changed: Stories from Ethereal Earth
Moving right along with my audiobook listening this year, this is a group of short stories from the Ethereal Earth series that the author was nice enough to offer me a copy of when he had finished the audiobook. So thanks very much to the author for the audiobook copy! How does a con man... Continue Reading →
Review: Where Shadows Lie by Allegra Pescatore
This was an audiobook that I picked up as it was the SPFBO Community Discord's Book Club title for January. Of course, I didn't manage to actually finish it in January... because of course I didn't. It's been one of those years, so far. ^^; THE CHOSEN ONE IS DEAD. Speak the truth. That is... Continue Reading →

Review: Dark Dawn by Irish Imbas
This was a really interesting idea, and when the author reached out to me to see what I thought of it, I happily had a gander. This is an interactive story, similar to a Choose Your Own Adventure story! It takes place slightly before the events of Defence of Ráth Bládhma, and so you can... Continue Reading →
Review: The Crimson Spark by William Hastings
This one came to my attention in an email from a publicist - and when I read the blurb for it, I thought it would definitely be up my alley. And an audiobook to boot! I can listen to it at work! Yaaaaay! So this review is based on a review copy of the audiobook,... Continue Reading →
Review: Ash Kickers by Sean Grigsby
Moving along in my read of the Smoke Eaters series, in preparation for the third book in the series. ^_^ Thankfully my library is awesome, and I found the audiobook for this one in hoopla. Thanks, libraries 💖 This one follows a different protagonist than the first, so I went in with high hopes for... Continue Reading →
Review: Smoke Eaters by Sean Grigsby
I've had this book on my shelf for a few years now. I've heard mixed things about it but the premise definitely sounded interesting. When Angry Robot offered me a copy of the latest book in the series, I figured that there was no time like the present to get caught up. When dragons rise... Continue Reading →
