Look at that coverrrr. Anyway, when I came upon this one I thought it sounded really interesting, and the audiobook was available to request on NetGalley and so off I went. So thanks to the author as well as Dreamscape Lore via NetGalley for the chance to listen to this one. Lorel has always dreamed... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: By Blood, By Salt by J.L. Odom
Next on the list of my SPFBO reads is this Military Fantasy. Not always my favorite genre, Esme usually grabs these ones, but in I go! Azetla has served the Maurowan Army for thirteen years. There are seven left to pay. A pariah and a debt soldier, he is a commander with no rank, a... Continue Reading →
Review: Nightstrider by Sophia Slade
I took one look at the cover of this one and jumped all over it. I just wish life had given me a bit of an opportunity to read it sooner than I did... -sigh- But, I always read my NetGalleys! Thanks to the author, as well as Orbit for the review copy. Wren is... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: Mushroom Blues by Adrian M. Gibson
This was the first SPFBOX finalist that was announced, and since I already had it on my kindle, with plans to read it because I had stumbled upon it and thought it sounded interesting, I decided to move it up on my TBR! Two years after a devastating defeat in the decade-long Spore War, the... Continue Reading →
Review: The Book of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia McKillip
Y'all, I've been meaning to read this book forever, and so when the 30th Anniversary Edition popped up on my NetGalley radar, I immediately requested it, because what better time than the present? So, thanks very much to the author as well as Tachyon via NetGalley for the review copy. When the White Wolf descends... Continue Reading →
Review: Somewhere Beyond the Sea by T.J. Klune
When I found out about this book existing (and I saw the cover for it at the same time, so you can imagine), I made such a squee noise, that my coworkers probably thought I was dying. So, when I had the opportunity to have a preview of it, I jumped on it. I did... Continue Reading →
Review: Confounding Oaths by Alexis Hall
This one took me a little longer to get to than I'd have liked, but I wanted to make sure that I read Mortal Follies before I started this one. I didn't realize that it was the second in the series when I requested it. Thankfully I really quite enjoyed Mortal Follies, and so I... Continue Reading →
Review: Between Dragons and Their Wrath by Devin Madson
I picked this one up as soon as I saw it, because I've really enjoyed Devin Madson's other work. Plus, it sounded really interesting. Thanks to the author, as well as Orbit for the review copy! The old kingdom of Paicha has been split into city states, but there are those who seek to reunite... Continue Reading →
superstardrifter’s SPFBOX MEGA ADVENTURE
Okay, it's not actually going to be that Mega. >.> There will be a semifinalist at the end though! Esme and I have been going strong for a billion SPFBOs now, and the last couple years have hit me pretty hard. So, this year I opted to take 5 out of the 30, instead of... Continue Reading →
Review: The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville
Okay, so imagine you're just browsing some books that you might review and BOOM (hehe), you see that firstly, Keanu Reeves wrote a book, and secondly, it was with China Miéville. So, obviously I hit that request button before I really even read the description (obviously). So, thanks to the authors, as well as Del... Continue Reading →
