a blog of book reviews
I've heard many good things about this book, and I couldn't really help myself from jumping on board the hype train. *toot toot* bitches, I have assimilated the hype!~ So to audible I went, because who can resist a well done audiobook (not me), and who had an audible credit (me, me, me!) and here...

Love love love me some Norse mythology. This one is full to the brim with it. I've been excited to read it for over a year (and still managed to not get to this ARC of it I've had until after it was released -.-; oh well), not only because it is pretty AF, but... Continue Reading →
You may remember me reading a short story earlier this year called Nine Parts Bluster. I quite enjoyed it. It was quite a well put together piece of dark fantasy, where the main character, one Senesio Suleiman Zhao, master monster hunter and wearer of ridiculous beaver hats, 'helped' some villagers rid themselves of an unfortunate...

Sometimes I just really like a dark fantasy story, and this one is, uh... pretty damn dark. 😀 Most of my reading these days is either primarily at night right before I sleep, or at work in between bouts of actually doing work. This one happened a little more of the former than the latter,... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
Oh boy, this is going to be a doozy. Staying calm and not just melting down about this book is going to be difficult. I'll try to articulate. Promise. I also tried to make this as spoiler free for both books as I could, but this review talks a *lot* about the relationship between two... Continue Reading →
Oh. Man. Getting an ARC of this book was pretty near the best thing that's happened to me this year so far, and I felt like it should be treated as my birthday, so I immediately dove right in after having some yes-I-am-an-adult-and-can-eat-cake-whenever-I'd-like-but-this-is-SPECIAL-cake-goddamn-it cake. At the Convent of Sweet Mercy young girls are raised to... Continue Reading →
I read this book last year. Twice! It remains one of the grimmest, darkest, grimdarkiest books I've ever read in my life. Just... goddamn. Arcane magic can be a ruinous power, despite admirable intentions. A mysterious scroll finds its way into Lord Severun’s hands, enabling him to release a dangerous experiment upon Wesson. With Sergeant... Continue Reading →
