Oh yes. Ohhhh goodness yes. I've been waiting so long for this book. A prequel series to His Dark Materials? Um, Sign. Me. Up. So, I preordered the hell out of it. It took appoximately .5 of a nanosecond of listening to the audiobook sample for me to decide to upgrade to audio for this... Continue Reading →
Review: With Blood Upon the Sand by Bradley P. Beaulieu
I'll be honest, the only thing that stopped me from immediately starting this one after finishing Twelve Kings in Sharakhai was that this audiobook is 30 hours long and Twelve Kings was 25 hours long and I thought that I would burn myself out on it if I shotgunned both one after the other. It... Continue Reading →
Review: Age of Assassins by RJ Barker
I've been doing really well at catching up on my audible library lately. I've got so much free time for audiobooks (you can read this as doing work but 🌟with audiobooks🌟. Three cheers for multitasking!) This one was a more recent aquisition but one of those that I kept hearing great things about and thus... Continue Reading →
Review: The Court of Broken Knives by Anna Smith Spark
Given the sheer palpability of the hype of this book, and my sensitivity to hype, it's safe to say that I've been meaning to read this book for quite a while now. I have so little time right now to read books that I haven't promised reviews for, and yet so much time for listening... Continue Reading →
Review: Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe
Hey, this is the 1000th book on my goodreads 'read' list. Hooray! Having really enjoyed Andrew Rowe's other books, I was excited to give this one a read. The premise looked really interesting. It's very magical school oriented, which is a trope that I've always liked in all its different forms. This one is in... Continue Reading →
Review: Fire and Brimstone by M.R. Forbes
This week I return my ears to the Chaos of the Covenant series, a spacey space opera that follows the exploits of one Abbey Cage and her band of escaped convicts known as Hell's Rejects. You can see my review of book one, Hell's Rejects, right here, if you'd like. I was given a copy... Continue Reading →
Review: Twelve Kings in Sharakhai by Bradley P. Beaulieu
This book has been on my radar for a long, long time. It's also been on my kindle for a long, long time... I'd just never gotten a chance to get to it. Then, one day while I was browsing my whispersync upgrades (which is a dangerous, dangerous thing that amazon has in their kindle... Continue Reading →
Review: Hell’s Rejects by M.R. Forbes
Ooooh Sci-fi. I heart you a lot. I'm on a bit of a sci-fi audiobook binge lately, having listened to 5 or 6 of them in a row. I couldn't resist adding this one to the mix, having loved both M.R. Forbes' Ghosts & Magic series and Jeff Hays' narration of it. So, one assumes... Continue Reading →
Review: Stone Cold Bastards by Jake Bible
Gargoyles! This is a type of creature that you don't often see in fantasy. There's so much amazing potential for them as either protagonists or antagonists in fantasy though. This book came to my attention because the audiobook is narrated by one of my favorite narrators. I read the blurb, and it sounded frigging awesome all... 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 →
