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 →
Review: Nevermore by David Niall Wilson
This was an audiobook review request that sounded super intriguing to me. I love retellings and books with themes based on things I like. I have been known to like some of Poe's work, most notably The Raven. So, thanks to the author for the review copy of this audiobook. On the banks of Lake... Continue Reading →
Review: Priest of Lies by Peter McLean
Having really liked Priest of Bones last year, when this one popped up on NetGalley, I immediately put a request in for it. So thanks to the author as well as Berkley via NetGalley for the review copy. People are weak, and the poorer and more oppressed they are, the weaker they become--until they can't...

So, thanks to the author as well as Ace via NetGalley for the review copy. A sorcerous... Continue Reading →
Review: Breaking Chaos by Ben Galley
Well... it all comes down to this! (dun dun dunnnn). Having really liked the last two books in this series, it was safe to say that I was excited to see how it all ended up, and so when I was offered a review copy, I gladly accepted and shuffled it up my TBR as... Continue Reading →

Review: Holy Sister by Mark Lawrence
Dun Dun DUUUNNNN. I've been anticipating this one for... well, since Grey Sister really. So, it was entirely surprising when an ARC of it showed up on my doorstep. So many thanks to the author as well as Ace/Roc for the ARC!~ They came against her as a child. Now they face the woman. The... Continue Reading →
Review: Grim Solace by Ben Galley
I really quite enjoyed Chasing Graves. I even preordered the sequel... and then, of course, didn't get a chance to read it until now. Le sigh. And suddenly, things fell into place and I had not just inclination to read it, but time as well! *gasp!* Stolen from the widow’s clutches, master thief and ghost... Continue Reading →
