if all the stars were books, the galaxy would still be smaller than my TBR list
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 →
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 →
This book has been on my TBR for far, far too long. I absolutely loved They Mostly Come Out at Night, and since finishing it I had always planned to continue the series but I got so, so terribly sidetracked. It happens, but I always feel terrible when I know there's a book on my... Continue Reading →
Hey, this is the 1000th book on my goodreads 'read' list. Hooray! Having really enjoyed Andrew Rowe's other books, I was excited to give this one a read. The premise looked really interesting. It's very magical school oriented, which is a trope that I've always liked in all its different forms. This one is in... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

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 →
