Four clans of genies are hidden deep in an abandoned mine, surrounded by a forest full of monsters, mysteries and treasure. Judah is determined to pass his wishgranter's exam and join Alifair's Repo Agency—premier repossessors of broken, malfunctioning and... Continue Reading →
Review: Plumbess Seg by Jude Fawley
Have you ever read a fantasy novel that has a magic system based around plumbing? Me either, so when this review request slid into my email, I couldn't resist giving it a listen. Thanks to the author for the review copy. For as long as she can remember, Seg has lived in the Orphanage. She... Continue Reading →
Review: Son of a Liche by J. Zachary Pike
As a complete coincidence to Orconomics winning this year's SPFBO, I finally got around to listening to the sequel, which has been in my audible library for an absolute age and a half. A doubly disgraced Dwarven hero. A band of accident-prone adventurers. Giving redemption a second shot may have been a grave mistake… Still... Continue Reading →
Review: Balam, Spring by Travis M. Riddle
I had every intention of reading this one during this year's SPFBO as it was part of our group and Coffee enjoyed it pretty well, but things ended up getting a little away from me (how does this keep happening?!). So, when I was offered a bright and shiny new audiobook of it, I couldn't... Continue Reading →
Review: A Brightness Long Ago by Guy Gavriel Kay
I admittedly haven't gotten much GGK into my system, as I only started reading his work later on in my life (I know!), but I've been planning to shove as much of it into my brain as possible, so when this popped up on NetGalley, I jumped on it. So, thanks to the author as... Continue Reading →
Review: Tracy Buckles – A Fantasy Web Series
Well, this is a bit of a change from my regularly scheduled book reviews. Tracy Buckles is a web series, and I don't really watch too much film these days. Even the short stuff. However, when Robin Nyström, the writer and director of this series, approached me to see if I'd be interested in having... Continue Reading →
Review: The Master of Dreams by Mike Resnick
Alright, I will admit that the cover is the thing that sucked me in on this one. I just can't resist a Dan dos Santos cover. 😀 Thanks to the author as well as Berkley via NetGalley for the review copy. Eddie Raven isn't quite sure what's happening to him--and he's in a race to... Continue Reading →
Review: The Squirrel Squire and the Tournament of Oaks by Erik DeLeo
This little book came to my attention on Twitter one day when I saw its adorable cover, and so when it popped up on NetGalley one day, I couldn't help requesting it. I mean look at that cover. Just look!!! So, many thanks to the author, as well as Xpresso Book Tours via NetGalley for... Continue Reading →
Review: The Outcast Hours – Edited by Mahvesh Murad & Jared Shurin
Having really enjoyed The Djinn Falls in Love, I couldn't help but request this one as soon as I saw it on NetGalley! So thanks very much to the authors, and editors, and Solaris via NetGalley for the review copy! We live our lives in the daylight. Our stories take place under the sun: bright,... Continue Reading →
Review: Faycalibur by Liam Perrin
Ahhh the Less Valued Knights. I love a nice, lighthearted comedic fantasy novel. I love them even more when they're based around Arthurian legend, so when offered this one for review, I simply couldn't resist! So, as is obvious, I received a review copy of this book from the author, and this review is of... Continue Reading →
