I really liked the last Fionn mac Cumhaill book that I read. I thought it was an interesting sort of retelling of Irish Mythology with a bit of modern language. My favorite character in the book was undoubtedly Liath Luachra, and so getting this prequel novel with her backstory was really awesome. And I did... Continue Reading →
Review: Already Comes Darkness by T.L. Greylock
Well, the ending of The Hills of Home certainly left me in a place where I had to decide if I wanted to know how the series ended.... or if I wanted to go ahead and read those remaining review requests. Sorry, review requests. I've gotta know! đ Treachery and betrayal have robbed Raef Skallagrim... Continue Reading →
Review: The Hills of Home by T.L. Greylock
I liked the first book in this series so much that I ended up making a Skyrim character named after one of its characters and went ahead and played that for like 3 or 4 more months than I was planning to. The issue around getting to this volume revolved around taking on so many... Continue Reading →
Review: The Shadow Crucible by T.M. Lakomy
I've had this book on my kindle for an absolute age and have just never managed to get to it. It's not that it looked bad or anything, I just had a literal mountain of books and it was nearer the summit. But, I am nearer the summit of my review requests mountain, and so... Continue Reading →
Review: Those Brave, Foolish Souls from the City of Swords by Benedict Patrick
Yarnsworld. Y U SO AWESOME?! After finishing Where the Waters Turn Black, I couldn't help but dive right into this one. I shuffled it up the TBR of Babel, as I am wont to do with series that I'm really digging. I just so happened to have an ARC of this one to do so... Continue Reading →
Review: Where the Waters Turn Black by Benedict Patrick
This book has been on my TBR for far, far too long. I absolutely loved They Mostly Come Out at Night, and since finishing it I had always planned to continue the series but I got so, so terribly sidetracked. It happens, but I always feel terrible when I know there's a book on my... Continue Reading →
Review: A Gathering of Ravens by Scott Oden
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 →
Review: The Djinn Falls in Love – edited by Mahvesh Murad & Jared Shurin
I love, love, love me some djinn. Whether they're good, or bad, or a bit of both, I love djinn. Possessing people, living in a lamp, or granting wishes- It is allllll good. So, of course when I learned that there was an anthology coming that was full of djinn stories, well, I jumped all... Continue Reading →
Review: Fionn – Defence of RĂĄth BlĂĄdhma by Brian O’Sullivan
Another SPFBO finalist makes its way into my eyes this week! This one is based on actual Irish mythology, specifically the Fenian Cycle, specifically-specifically The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn, which is something like a retelling of the early life of the mythological hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. Also, firstly, I'm going to straight-up apologize in advance for... Continue Reading →
Review: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
Last year, he announced that he had written a book of Norse Mythology, and the world rejoiced (well, I mean... I rejoiced. I assume others out there did too. I don't keep track of the *whole* world). And so the audiobook was preordered (because I will -always- listen to a Neil Gaiman book in audio... Continue Reading →
