Oh yes. Ohhhh goodness yes. I've been waiting so long for this book. A prequel series to His Dark Materials? Um, Sign. Me. Up. So, I preordered the hell out of it. It took appoximately .5 of a nanosecond of listening to the audiobook sample for me to decide to upgrade to audio for this... Continue Reading →
Review: Black Guild by J.P. Ashman
I've been waiting so very patiently (mostly......) for this book. I quite enjoyed my time with Black Cross, as you can probably tell from my review of it. So, when an ARC of Black Guild snuck its way into my email inbox, it went right onto the kindle and then as soon as I was... Continue Reading →
Review: Autonomous by Annalee Newitz
I heard a little hype about this book on twitter, and couldn't help myself when it popped up on NetGalley. It sounded absolutely intriguing. I'm no stranger to sci-fi, and also no stranger to books involving robots, but this one seemed unique. So, many thanks to Macmillan-Tor/Forge via NetGalley for this book. Earth, 2144. Jack...

Review: The Hidden Face by S.C. Flynn
Working through my TBR list like a fucking champ! I was skimming the TBR of Babel on my kindle and this one was like 'ME, BITCH!' and I can't argue with that sort of confidence, and so off I went into the world of the Face. Also, I received a free copy of this book... Continue Reading →
Review: The Unicorn-Eater by Philip Overby
This little gem has been on my kindle for ages and it just so happened that today, I needed a laugh. And this book, I am told, and by reputable sources no less, is good for a laugh. So, off I went. For bounty hunter and obsessive sword-collector Katzia of Clovenhoof a trail of dead... Continue Reading →
Review: The Black Tides of Heaven & The Red Threads of Fortune by JY Yang
I'm going to go ahead and review these two novellas together, because they are a beautiful and wondrous pair indeed, and I can't bear to separate them. These came to my attention through my twitter feed (thanks to Tor for that <3), and once I saw them, I couldn't resist, because... well, I mean look... Continue Reading →
Review: Those Brave, Foolish Souls from the City of Swords by Benedict Patrick
Yarnsworld. Y U SO AWESOME?! After finishing Where the Waters Turn Black, I couldn't help but dive right into this one. I shuffled it up the TBR of Babel, as I am wont to do with series that I'm really digging. I just so happened to have an ARC of this one to do so... Continue Reading →
Review: A Plague of Giants by Kevin Hearne
OoooOoooo a new high fantasy series by Kevin Hearne. Sign me up! It sounded really, really interesting when I first read about it, and I quite like the Iron Druid series, so when this popped up on NetGalley, I jumped at the chance. So, I'd like to thank Kevin Hearne, Random House/Ballantine via NetGalley for... Continue Reading →
Review: With Blood Upon the Sand by Bradley P. Beaulieu
I'll be honest, the only thing that stopped me from immediately starting this one after finishing Twelve Kings in Sharakhai was that this audiobook is 30 hours long and Twelve Kings was 25 hours long and I thought that I would burn myself out on it if I shotgunned both one after the other. It... Continue Reading →
Review: Age of Assassins by RJ Barker
I've been doing really well at catching up on my audible library lately. I've got so much free time for audiobooks (you can read this as doing work but 🌟with audiobooks🌟. Three cheers for multitasking!) This one was a more recent aquisition but one of those that I kept hearing great things about and thus... Continue Reading →
