I've had this little gem on my kindle for a long while, but I figured while I was in the mood for some short stories in between longer books, I would slam down some golem-tacular shenanigans. They call the Malar Dorah unbreakable. Five centuries it stood unconquered until foul trickery cracked its gates. Now, it... Continue Reading →
Review: Hemlock by Jesse Teller
I read Song last year, and really enjoyed it, as it was a bit of a breath of fresh air comparatively to the other Perilisc books I had read up to that point. Still pretty dark, but not quite as in-your-face-dark, with characters I rather like! So, when I was offered a review copy of... Continue Reading →
Review: A Star-Reckoner’s Lot by Darrell Drake
Guys, I've finally reached the point in my TBR where I can branch out into books that I have been meaning to read forever. I made it! This book has been on the TBR for at least a year, so I'm glad I could finally get there. Ashtadukht is a star-reckoner. The worst there's ever... Continue Reading →
Review: The Automation by Anonymous (Narrated by BLA and Annotated by GB Gabbler)
So, you can probably already tell that this book is going to be a little bizarre. Let me assure you it's a bit more than a little bizarre. I've had this book on my review requests pile for a long, long time, but, guys the review requests pile isn't a large looming unsteady jenga-esque tower... Continue Reading →
Review: Fionn – The Stalking Silence by Brian O’Sullivan
So, it actually took me longer to write and format this post than it did to read this short story. 😀 I really quite enjoy the realism of the Fionn series. It's still modern enough to understand, but it has a gritty could-actually-have-happened in a way realness to it that immerses me in each story.... Continue Reading →
Review: Mestlven by Jesse Teller
This has been on my review requests pile for an age, but I've put it off because... uh, well the Perilisc books, if you're unfamiliar, are fairly dark. Like... seriously horrorish dark. And I was not in a good place for really-really-dark until... quarter past 2 days ago >.>; So here we are! I was... Continue Reading →
Review: The Eagle’s Flight by Daniel E. Olesen
The TBR of Babel is getting legitimately smaller, guys, and this is so, so exciting! XD Peace in the Seven Realms of Adalmearc is only as strong as those who rule them. With the death of the high king and his heir too young to assume the throne, political intrigues fill the landscape as the... Continue Reading →
Review: The Fifth Empire of Man by Rob J. Hayes
Oh pirates. I love you! There really needs to be more piratical fantasy in the world. Luckily, this series didn't stop with the first book! The Pirate Isles are united under Drake Morrass’ flag, but the war has only just begun. There’s still a long way to go before he’s able to call himself King. ... Continue Reading →
Review: The Vale: Behind the Vale by Brian D. Anderson
This book was one that I had seen the cover of in various facebook groups in which I am a member, and it looked intriguing, so I added it to the TBR of Babel. I wasn't expecting to be offered a review copy of it, but then again, I'm never really expecting review copies of... Continue Reading →
Review: Sir Thomas the Hesitant and the Table of Less Valued Knights
This is one of those books that I hadn't really heard of until a few people in my sphere (it's more of a rhombus, really) of social media were talking about it and I read a review or two.... and said to myself - 'I need this book in my life!' The author was then... Continue Reading →
