I was offered a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review, and I happily accepted, because it sounded really interesting! To the north sits Thyesten, the ancient Lich King of Gedlund. He has banished death, and for countless centuries ruled a land where ghosts, vampires, and other wicked... Continue Reading →
Review: Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron
I got this audiobook on an audible daily deal sale months ago but had just never gotten to it. I moved it up to the top of the TBR of Babel based on some twitter/reddit hype. Oh, the hype hit me. I got hyped. In the face! Yeah, well within 4 hours of starting it... Continue Reading →
Review: The Innocent Dead by Jill Nojack
It's uh... it's an interesting story how this book came to my attention. There was a book... and it had a narrator... and I liked that narrator but not the book, and... heh. Well, it turns out that the narrator is a pretty cool guy, and said I could have a different book. 😀 I... Continue Reading →
Review: Servant of Rage by A.Z. Anthony
When offered a copy of this novel I really couldn't resist. I've really enjoyed this author's short stories, and this one sounded all kinds of interesting, with the whole Mongolian berzerker vibe. So, I got a free copy of this novel, and in exchange, here is my honest review of it. 🙂 To kill an... Continue Reading →
Review: Where Loyalties Lie by Rob J. Hayes
This was actually one of those books that I've had on my TBR for quite a long while, but never quite found the time for between review requests and my looming TBR structure. Well, twitter was all twoodling about how many fucks were in this book comparatively to the rest of this year's SPFBO finalists... Continue Reading →
Review: Lost Lore: A Fantasy Anthology
There's something to be said for an anthology from a bunch of authors I like which includes a bunch or stories that (more or less) introduce you to the author's writing style, or (perhaps a little 'and') the worlds they have created. So, of course, when I was offered a copy of this a bit... Continue Reading →
Review: Trial of Kings by Phil Tucker
When offered a review copy of the sequel to a book that you loved, one can never say no, right? No exception here. I really liked Empire of the Dead! Necro-Sumerian Ocean's Eleven fantasy is never a bad thing. Never ever! So, as is now obvious here, I received a free copy of this book... Continue Reading →
Review: Liath Luachra: The Grey One by Brian O’Sullivan
I really liked the last Fionn mac Cumhaill book that I read. I thought it was an interesting sort of retelling of Irish Mythology with a bit of modern language. My favorite character in the book was undoubtedly Liath Luachra, and so getting this prequel novel with her backstory was really awesome. And I did... Continue Reading →
Review: Art of War edited by Petros Triantafyllou
I love a good short story. Sometimes I don't have a lot of time for reading, so I like to get complete stories into my eyeholes before I have to go off and do something else. Anthologies are something I can start and then slowly chip away at without feeling bad that it's taking an... Continue Reading →
Review: The Wolf of Oren-yaro by K.S. Villoso
Almost the end of the year, and I resolved to read this one before the new year arrived. What do you mean making resolutions before the new year isn't how it works? >.> I DO WHAT I WANT! *bitch queen* I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my... Continue Reading →
