Ooooh Sci-fi. I heart you a lot. I'm on a bit of a sci-fi audiobook binge lately, having listened to 5 or 6 of them in a row. I couldn't resist adding this one to the mix, having loved both M.R. Forbes' Ghosts & Magic series and Jeff Hays' narration of it. So, one assumes... Continue Reading →
Review: Veiled Intentions by Michael R. Miller
I will admit that it took me entirely too long to revisit the world of the Dragon's Blade. Not by any fault of its own... I just got busy with a pile of other stuff. You know how it is. It was very patient with me though, staying on my kindle and looking pretty until... 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: Dragonship by JP Ashman
A nice short story for a vacation I'm-on-the-porch-and-am-not-in-Houston-so-it's-not-hot-as-balls-and-I-can-actually-read-out-here-and-not-die-of-heat-stroke read is always a good thing, amirite? 😀 Beln, Gellborn officer aboard a red dragonship has reached the near-peak of her career. But ordered to pursue a rare, wild dragon by her sadistic captain, Beln is torn between those loyalties bred into her and those grown anew... Continue Reading →
Review: The Emerald Blade by Steven Kelliher
Ohhh Landkist. I'm glad that you are back, because I'm ready for some more crazy fire-sword wielding elemental adventures! Also, I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review of it. 😀 It took me a while to read, but to be honest, I'm on vacation, writing... Continue Reading →
Review: Chaste by Jesse Teller
Sometimes I just really like a dark fantasy story, and this one is, uh... pretty damn dark. 😀 Most of my reading these days is either primarily at night right before I sleep, or at work in between bouts of actually doing work. This one happened a little more of the former than the latter,... 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 →
Review: Fionn – Defence of Ráth Bládhma by Brian O’Sullivan
Another SPFBO finalist makes its way into my eyes this week! This one is based on actual Irish mythology, specifically the Fenian Cycle, specifically-specifically The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn, which is something like a retelling of the early life of the mythological hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. Also, firstly, I'm going to straight-up apologize in advance for... 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: 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 →
