Review: The Valley of the Gods by Phil Tucker
This is one of those books that I've been looking forward to since the previous book in the series was released. It was a total surprise too. Audible emailed me one day and was like 'oh hey, this book is out' before it was even visible on goodreads. Good thing I had a credit, amirite?... Continue Reading →
Review: The Gossamer Mage by Julie E. Czerneda
I stumbled over this one on NetGalley while I was looking for something else, which... happens more than you'd think. In usually good ways! ^_^ So, thanks to the author, as well as DAW via NetGalley for the review copy!~ Only in Tananen do people worship a single deity: the Deathless Goddess. Only in this...

Review: The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
This book has been on my radar for several months now, and I've had a review copy burning a hole in my metaphorical pocket for a couple of them. After hearing fellow bloggers praise it to bits, I couldn't help but shuffle it to the top of the TBR. Thanks to the author, as well... Continue Reading →
Esme’s SPFBO 5 Review: The Brightest Light by Scott J Robinson
Intro: My first review for SPFBO 5!!! My ratings and the status of the book are at the bottom of the review. For each review, I'll note how much of the book I read and whether it's "cut" or "still alive" - "still alive" meaning it's under consideration for a semi but no decision has... Continue Reading →
Blog Tour Review: The Written by Ben Galley
This is my first blog tour ever guys, so forgive me if I don't do this right! 😀 When I was approached to participate, I couldn't help but jump on the chance. I've been meaning to read more of Ben Galley's work for quite a while, and what better time to start the Emaneska series... Continue Reading →
Review: Forever Fantasy Online by Rachel Aaron & Travis Bach
I've heard so many good things about this book, and so I had the audiobook in my library nearly on release day... and then the sequel... and still didn't manage to actually get to them until now (I'M WORKING ON YOU, 150 UNLISTENED BOOKS). So, what better time than now?! 😀 IT'S NOT A GAME... Continue Reading →
Review: The Dragon Republic by R. F. Kuang
It wasn't long after finishing The Poppy War that I was veritably clamoring for the sequel, and so when it showed up on NetGalley I happily requested it, and then gently and patiently waited until a little bit closer to the release date. I've had this badboy staring at me from the kindle since March!... Continue Reading →
Review: Nevermore by David Niall Wilson
This was an audiobook review request that sounded super intriguing to me. I love retellings and books with themes based on things I like. I have been known to like some of Poe's work, most notably The Raven. So, thanks to the author for the review copy of this audiobook. On the banks of Lake... Continue Reading →
