Review: Faycalibur by Liam Perrin
Ahhh the Less Valued Knights. I love a nice, lighthearted comedic fantasy novel.

So, as is obvious, I received a review copy of this book from the author, and this review is of... Continue Reading →
Review: The Lore of Prometheus by Graham Austin-King
First book of the new year!!! After just a moment of looking at the beautiful cover for this novel, I knew I wanted to read it. I mean, I don't judge a book by its cover necessarily, but a book with a pretty cover is 100% more likely to make me interested in reading a... Continue Reading →

Review: The Elder Ice by David Hambling
This was a review request that sounded really interesting, as it is a bit of a horror/mystery that takes place in... our world, but with some Lovecraftian shenanigans included as well. So off I went into my world of 1920s London adventure! In this atmospheric novella, ex-boxer Harry Stubbs is on the trail of a... Continue Reading →

Review: Torn by Rowenna Miller
This one gained my attention back when it first came out because it involves a magic system that involves sewing. I got the audiobook with the entire idea that I would do some cross stitching while listening to it, but it didn't end up working out like that. Oh well! 😀 Sophie is a dressmaker... Continue Reading →
