if all the stars were books, the galaxy would still be smaller than my TBR list
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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...

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 →
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Miyazaki movies? This is pertinent to this review, I promise. Princess Mononoke and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind are two of my favorite movies of all time, and at the very least, the first quarter or so of this book reads a little like an epic...

I read this book last year. Twice! It remains one of the grimmest, darkest, grimdarkiest books I've ever read in my life. Just... goddamn. Arcane magic can be a ruinous power, despite admirable intentions. A mysterious scroll finds its way into Lord Severun’s hands, enabling him to release a dangerous experiment upon Wesson. With Sergeant... Continue Reading →
Normally I have so much more time for audiobooks over physical books but it's been the opposite this year so far. However, once I had a chance to start this one, I *made* time to listen to the rest. Oh yes. Also, FYI, I was given a copy of this audiobook by the author for an... Continue Reading →
