if all the stars were books, the galaxy would still be smaller than my TBR list
I've heard some palpable hype about this book, and so when it showed up on NetGalley I couldn't resist trying it out for myself! PEER PRESSURE! So thanks to the author, as well as Ace via NetGalley for the review copy. It's a dangerous thing, to choose the lesser of two evils. The war is... Continue Reading →
In which Kristen attends a Carnival, of sorts. 😀 Some call it purgatory, others know it as the in-between, but for those poor souls who are trapped there eternally, it is simply The Carnival — a macabre mockery where night is never-ending, and a sadistic creature known as The Fool reigns unchallenged. And The Fool... Continue Reading →
Well. Here we are, Black Arrow. I've been really excited about this one, so when offered an ARC, I couldn't say no. So, thanks to the author for the review copy. 🙂 Tragedy rarely visits alone; when one hero falls, more usually follow, such is the nature of war. Whilst Cheung travels Brisance and the...

Blackwing was one of the books that made it onto my best of 2017 list pretty easily, so naturally I was eagerly anticipating the follow-up. So thanks to the author, as well as Berkley via NetGalley for the review copy. 🙂 Four years have passed since Nall’s Engine drove the Deep Kings back across the... Continue Reading →
Oh goodness, I've been looking forward to this book since I listened to The Court of Broken Knives last year, which ended up on my top of 2017 list, easily. I was very patiently waiting when suddenly, I was offered a copy for reviewing. Well, how could I say no?! So thanks very much to... Continue Reading →
Yay! When I learned that this series takes place in the same world as Hayes' Best Laid Plans series, I happily accepted an ARC copy, because while this one follows different characters, who are more of the mercenary nature than pirate, it's still bound to be full of all sorts of the shenanigans that I...

This book was recommended to me by about ten people, and I couldn't help myself. I patiently waited for my next audible credit and dropped it all over this book. Hooray for audiobooks! When Rin aced the Keju, the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies, it was a... Continue Reading →
Hah, you didn't think I was going to get 5 ARCs of this and not read one, did you? It admittedly took a while, since I've had so much on my plate, but oh, I managed. 😀 As a few of you probably know, I reviewed this book way back in the beginning of 2017.... Continue Reading →
I read Song last year, and really enjoyed it, as it was a bit of a breath of fresh air comparatively to the other Perilisc books I had read up to that point. Still pretty dark, but not quite as in-your-face-dark, with characters I rather like! So, when I was offered a review copy of... Continue Reading →
This has been on my review requests pile for an age, but I've put it off because... uh, well the Perilisc books, if you're unfamiliar, are fairly dark. Like... seriously horrorish dark. And I was not in a good place for really-really-dark until... quarter past 2 days ago >.>; So here we are! I was... Continue Reading →
