The TBR of Babel is getting legitimately smaller, guys, and this is so, so exciting! XD Peace in the Seven Realms of Adalmearc is only as strong as those who rule them. With the death of the high king and his heir too young to assume the throne, political intrigues fill the landscape as the... Continue Reading →
Review: The Fifth Empire of Man by Rob J. Hayes
Oh pirates. I love you! There really needs to be more piratical fantasy in the world. Luckily, this series didn't stop with the first book! The Pirate Isles are united under Drake Morrass’ flag, but the war has only just begun. There’s still a long way to go before he’s able to call himself King. ... Continue Reading →
Review: The Vale: Behind the Vale by Brian D. Anderson
This book was one that I had seen the cover of in various facebook groups in which I am a member, and it looked intriguing, so I added it to the TBR of Babel. I wasn't expecting to be offered a review copy of it, but then again, I'm never really expecting review copies of... Continue Reading →
Review: Sir Thomas the Hesitant and the Table of Less Valued Knights
This is one of those books that I hadn't really heard of until a few people in my sphere (it's more of a rhombus, really) of social media were talking about it and I read a review or two.... and said to myself - 'I need this book in my life!' The author was then... Continue Reading →
Review: Gedlund by William Ray
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: Lake Silence by Anne Bishop
I really really like the world of The Others, so naturally when this popped up on NetGalley, I was more than happy to send in a request for it. This one is a spin-off of the first five books in the series. It takes place in the same world but a different part of it... 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 →
