This is one of those books that I couldn't resist based on the title alone. The cover is great too! I thought to myself that such an interesting sounding book would be amazing in audio. So, this review is based on a review copy of the audiobook. Thanks to Orbit for that! For Teagan Frost,... Continue Reading →
Review: Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse
I really quite enjoyed Trail of Lightning, and so when this was released I jumped on it. Of course, life being what life is, I didn't manage to listen to it until now. Funny how that happens! ^_^ It’s been four weeks since the bloody showdown at Black Mesa, and Maggie Hoskie, Diné monster hunter,... Continue Reading →
Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Ahhh, I couldn't help myself here. This one was recommended to me and sounded far too good to pass up, and so off went the audible credit! ^_^ First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the... Continue Reading →
Review: Plumbess Seg by Jude Fawley
Have you ever read a fantasy novel that has a magic system based around plumbing? Me either, so when this review request slid into my email, I couldn't resist giving it a listen. Thanks to the author for the review copy. For as long as she can remember, Seg has lived in the Orphanage. She... Continue Reading →
Review: Son of a Liche by J. Zachary Pike
As a complete coincidence to Orconomics winning this year's SPFBO, I finally got around to listening to the sequel, which has been in my audible library for an absolute age and a half. A doubly disgraced Dwarven hero. A band of accident-prone adventurers. Giving redemption a second shot may have been a grave mistake… Still... Continue Reading →
Review: Fae – The Sins of the Wyrde by Graham Austin-King
I've really enjoyed this trilogy thusfar, and am glad that I've finally gotten time to listen to the last book in the series. Took me long enough, I know. ^_^ With her king’s plans laid bare, Selena must take drastic steps as the invaders push deeper into Anlan, driven by the schemes of the Sealord.... Continue Reading →
Review: Off Leash by Daniel Potter
I've been meaning to read this book since it was in the SPFBO. No, not this year's... not the one before that. No... the one before the one before this one. ^_^ The fact that this one had an audiobook edition made it so much easier to finally get to it. Thanks audiobooks! When Thomas... Continue Reading →
Review: Balam, Spring by Travis M. Riddle
I had every intention of reading this one during this year's SPFBO as it was part of our group and Coffee enjoyed it pretty well, but things ended up getting a little away from me (how does this keep happening?!). So, when I was offered a bright and shiny new audiobook of it, I couldn't... Continue Reading →
Review: Kingshold by D.P. Woolliscroft
I've been meaning to read this book for an absolute age, but have been bogged down with so much other stuff, and could never manage the time. But then! A wild audiobook appeared! I can always find time for audiobooks (because I can listen to them while I work, hooray!). So thanks very much to... Continue Reading →
Review: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
The hype regarding this book was nearly palpable in the air, so when audible credit day rolled around, I could hardly wait to lay one at the feet of this beautiful chonki book. The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to... Continue Reading →
