I've had this book on my shelf for an embarrassingly long time (like... I winced when I went to amazon to link the book and it reminded me when I purchased it...), but it just never made its way into my (admittedly eclectic and oftentimes spur-of-the-moment) circulation until recently. No time like the present, as... Continue Reading →
Review: The Nine by Tracy Townsend
Pyr was nice enough to send me this book and its sequel about an age and a half ago and I then promptly fell into a bout of the mood reads and it bounced off a couple times. Finally, the mood for this hit me! The audiobook mood, as it were. ^_^ But, all the... Continue Reading →
Review: Twilight of the Gods by Scott Oden
I really quite enjoyed A Gathering of Ravens, and so when this popped up on NetGalley, I couldn't pass up requesting it. So, many thanks to the author, as well as St. Martin's Press via NetGalley for the review copy! It is the year of Our Lord 1218 and in the land of the Raven-Geats,... Continue Reading →
Review: The Shadow Saint by Gareth Hanrahan
I really enjoyed The Gutter Prayer earlier this year, so it only makes sense that once I saw an opportunity to read the sequel, I was all the way on board. So thanks very much to the author, as well as Orbit via NetGalley for the review copy. Thieves, dangerous magic, and a weapon built... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Finalist Review: Never Die by Rob J. Hayes
And now it's down to the finalists! What better way to start out the finals round than with a book that is more or less a martial arts movie in literary form, amirite? Start things off with a real bang, so to speak! Ein is on a mission from God. A God of Death. Time... Continue Reading →
Review: Darkdawn by Jay Kristoff
Oooh gentlefriends, it is here. And while I didn't have a ton of time to spare, this is a book that I made time for. So, apologies that this is coming more than 20 hours after this book was released. I savored this one. 😀 The Republic of Itreya is in chaos. Mia Corvere has... Continue Reading →
Review: The True Bastards by Jonathan French
I waited until a little bit closer to release day to shove this one into my brainface, knowing that I'd gobble it right up and didn't want to be too early to the party. Thanks to the author, as well as Crown via NetGalley for the review copy. Fetching was once the only female rider... Continue Reading →
Review: The House of Sacrifice by Anna Smith Spark
Guyyysssssss I was so excited when this book arrived in the mail for me. I mean, I didn't think I had time for literally any other books and then when it arrived on my doorstep I absolutely immediately stopped everything I was doing and started it. This review is based on a review copy. Thanks... Continue Reading →
Review: Wrath of Storms by Steven McKinnon
My favorite book that came out of last year's SPFBO was Symphony of the Wind, which surprised me not by being awesome, but by being just... exactly all the things I love in a book. So when I was approached with the sequel, well... I was all over it. So this review is based on... Continue Reading →
Review: The Dragon Republic by R. F. Kuang
It wasn't long after finishing The Poppy War that I was veritably clamoring for the sequel, and so when it showed up on NetGalley I happily requested it, and then gently and patiently waited until a little bit closer to the release date. I've had this badboy staring at me from the kindle since March!... Continue Reading →
