It wasn't long after finishing The Poppy War that I was veritably clamoring for the sequel, and so when it showed up on NetGalley I happily requested it, and then gently and patiently waited until a little bit closer to the release date. I've had this badboy staring at me from the kindle since March!... Continue Reading →
Review: Nevermore by David Niall Wilson
This was an audiobook review request that sounded super intriguing to me. I love retellings and books with themes based on things I like. I have been known to like some of Poe's work, most notably The Raven. So, thanks to the author for the review copy of this audiobook. On the banks of Lake... Continue Reading →
Review: The Girl Who Could Move Shit with Her Mind by Jackson Ford
This is one of those books that I couldn't resist based on the title alone. The cover is great too! I thought to myself that such an interesting sounding book would be amazing in audio. So, this review is based on a review copy of the audiobook. Thanks to Orbit for that! For Teagan Frost,... Continue Reading →
Review: Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse
I really quite enjoyed Trail of Lightning, and so when this was released I jumped on it. Of course, life being what life is, I didn't manage to listen to it until now. Funny how that happens! ^_^ It’s been four weeks since the bloody showdown at Black Mesa, and Maggie Hoskie, Diné monster hunter,... Continue Reading →
Review: This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
That's a mouthful! ^_^ I had been hearing about this book for a while before it popped up on NetGalley. Just the authors alone made me interested in it, but the premise sounded so interesting that when it did finally show up for request, I was all over it! So, thanks to the authors, as...

Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Ahhh, I couldn't help myself here. This one was recommended to me and sounded far too good to pass up, and so off went the audible credit! ^_^ First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the... Continue Reading →
Review: Priest of Lies by Peter McLean
Having really liked Priest of Bones last year, when this one popped up on NetGalley, I immediately put a request in for it. So thanks to the author as well as Berkley via NetGalley for the review copy. People are weak, and the poorer and more oppressed they are, the weaker they become--until they can't...

Review: Plumbess Seg by Jude Fawley
Have you ever read a fantasy novel that has a magic system based around plumbing? Me either, so when this review request slid into my email, I couldn't resist giving it a listen. Thanks to the author for the review copy. For as long as she can remember, Seg has lived in the Orphanage. She... Continue Reading →
Review: Son of a Liche by J. Zachary Pike
As a complete coincidence to Orconomics winning this year's SPFBO, I finally got around to listening to the sequel, which has been in my audible library for an absolute age and a half. A doubly disgraced Dwarven hero. A band of accident-prone adventurers. Giving redemption a second shot may have been a grave mistake… Still... Continue Reading →
Review: Fae – The Sins of the Wyrde by Graham Austin-King
I've really enjoyed this trilogy thusfar, and am glad that I've finally gotten time to listen to the last book in the series. Took me long enough, I know. ^_^ With her king’s plans laid bare, Selena must take drastic steps as the invaders push deeper into Anlan, driven by the schemes of the Sealord.... Continue Reading →
