I have been waiting for this one. Oh yes. Very patiently, I might add. But waiting, nonetheless. I was so lucky to read this book really early. I can tell you, though, that even that early on, by the time it ended up in my hands, it didn't really need anything corrected. It was amazing... Continue Reading →
Review: Blackwing by Ed McDonald
Time for my second ever NetGalley title. I've heard so many good things about this book, not the least of which is that in many people's opinion, it's the best fantasy debut of 2017. That's high praise, so of course when I saw it on NetGalley, I requested it, not really expecting to receive a... Continue Reading →
Review: Twelve Kings in Sharakhai by Bradley P. Beaulieu
This book has been on my radar for a long, long time. It's also been on my kindle for a long, long time... I'd just never gotten a chance to get to it. Then, one day while I was browsing my whispersync upgrades (which is a dangerous, dangerous thing that amazon has in their kindle... Continue Reading →
Review: A Gathering of Ravens by Scott Oden
Love love love me some Norse mythology. This one is full to the brim with it. I've been excited to read it for over a year (and still managed to not get to this ARC of it I've had until after it was released -.-; oh well), not only because it is pretty AF, but... Continue Reading →
Review: Faithless by Graham Austin-King
Vacation is over, time to go back into the world. Work and chores and blah. Luckily, I had this book to help my woeful transition back into the world of being an adult along. Oh, and also, I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review of... Continue Reading →
Review: The Iron Circlet by Phil Tucker
Ohhhh Chronicles of the Black Gate. The kind of books that, upon hearing that the 4th book in the series is released, I immediately drop everything I'm doing and pick it up. Yep, that happened. Witcher 3 - dropped. Other books that I was thinking of starting - dropped. I wished I could have dropped... Continue Reading →
RetroReview: Senlin Ascends & Arm of the Sphinx by Josiah Bancroft
It's been a while since I reviewed anything. I don't want you lot thinking I fell off the face of the earth (just kidding, pretty much everyone who reads this blog follows me on twitter where I have not been spending the last week retweeting pictures of puppies and have definitely not been live tweeting my Mass Effect...

Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
I didn't even have to read the entire blurb for this one to know that this book was right up my alley. Much like Jonathan French's The Grey Bastards, any book filled with a group of dudes just fighting and cursing up a storm is something I'm actively interested in reading. This particular romp been... Continue Reading →
Review: On the Wheel by Timandra Whitecastle
Oh boy, this is going to be a doozy. Staying calm and not just melting down about this book is going to be difficult. I'll try to articulate. Promise. I also tried to make this as spoiler free for both books as I could, but this review talks a *lot* about the relationship between two... Continue Reading →
Review: Red Sister by Mark Lawrence
Oh. Man. Getting an ARC of this book was pretty near the best thing that's happened to me this year so far, and I felt like it should be treated as my birthday, so I immediately dove right in after having some yes-I-am-an-adult-and-can-eat-cake-whenever-I'd-like-but-this-is-SPECIAL-cake-goddamn-it cake. At the Convent of Sweet Mercy young girls are raised to... Continue Reading →
