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...

Review: The Tower of Living and Dying by Anna Smith Spark
Oh goodness, I've been looking forward to this book since I listened to The Court of Broken Knives last year, which ended up on my top of 2017 list, easily.

Review: Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
There was some palpable hype about this book in my rhombus of social media, and so when I received an offer to review a NetGalley, I couldn't resist.

So, in a world where the author of one of your favorite Urban Fantasy series (Iron Druid) and the author of your absolute favorite Paranormal Romance book ever (Wicked as they Come) come together to write a comedic fantasy book that you have seen compared to Monty Python and Discworld.... and you see that book...

Review: City of Kings by Rob J. Hayes
Yay! When I learned that this series takes place in the same world as Hayes' Best Laid Plans series, I happily accepted an ARC copy, because while this one follows different characters, who are more of the mercenary nature than pirate, it's still bound to be full of all sorts of the shenanigans that I...

Review: The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
This book was recommended to me by about ten people, and I couldn't help myself. I patiently waited for my next audible credit and dropped it all over this book. Hooray for audiobooks! When Rin aced the Keju, the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies, it was a... Continue Reading →
