Ooooh Greek Mythology. I love you so. Mythology in general has been one of those things that I have been fascinated with for my entire life. And Madeline Miller.... well, let's just say that Song of Achilles had me in goddamn tears despite knowing how The Illiad ended. It is quite easily one of my... Continue Reading →
Review: A Star-Reckoner’s Lot by Darrell Drake
Guys, I've finally reached the point in my TBR where I can branch out into books that I have been meaning to read forever. I made it! This book has been on the TBR for at least a year, so I'm glad I could finally get there. Ashtadukht is a star-reckoner. The worst there's ever... Continue Reading →
Review: The Automation by Anonymous (Narrated by BLA and Annotated by GB Gabbler)
So, you can probably already tell that this book is going to be a little bizarre. Let me assure you it's a bit more than a little bizarre. I've had this book on my review requests pile for a long, long time, but, guys the review requests pile isn't a large looming unsteady jenga-esque tower... Continue Reading →
Review: Fionn – The Stalking Silence by Brian O’Sullivan
So, it actually took me longer to write and format this post than it did to read this short story. 😀 I really quite enjoy the realism of the Fionn series. It's still modern enough to understand, but it has a gritty could-actually-have-happened in a way realness to it that immerses me in each story.... Continue Reading →
Review: Trial of Kings by Phil Tucker
When offered a review copy of the sequel to a book that you loved, one can never say no, right? No exception here. I really liked Empire of the Dead! Necro-Sumerian Ocean's Eleven fantasy is never a bad thing. Never ever! So, as is now obvious here, I received a free copy of this book... Continue Reading →
Review: Liath Luachra: The Grey One by Brian O’Sullivan
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! 😀 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 →
