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 →
Review: Chaste by Jesse Teller
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 →
Review: Stone Cold Bastards by Jake Bible
Gargoyles! This is a type of creature that you don't often see in fantasy. There's so much amazing potential for them as either protagonists or antagonists in fantasy though. This book came to my attention because the audiobook is narrated by one of my favorite narrators. I read the blurb, and it sounded frigging awesome all... Continue Reading →
Review: Lost Boy by Christina Henry
There are two stories in this world (and their Disney movie adaptations if I'm being real with you guys) that I have enjoyed since I was old enough to read... or, y'know... form meaningful opinions on things. One is Alice in Wonderland, and the other is Peter Pan. I'm just becoming aware of Christina Henry's books... Continue Reading →
Review: The Djinn Falls in Love – edited by Mahvesh Murad & Jared Shurin
I love, love, love me some djinn. Whether they're good, or bad, or a bit of both, I love djinn. Possessing people, living in a lamp, or granting wishes- It is allllll good. So, of course when I learned that there was an anthology coming that was full of djinn stories, well, I jumped all... Continue Reading →
Review: The Iron Circlet by Phil Tucker
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 →
Review: The Cycle of Arawn by Edward W. Robertson
Yeeep, the whole thing. An entire trilogy (I promise I won't spoil any of it.) That's how this audiobook comes. Firstly, I wasn't expecting to actually sit here and listen to the entire thing at once (I didn't. I have far too much ADD for that nonsense) - But, I still managed to listen to... Continue Reading →
Review: Written in Red by Anne Bishop
Gods above and below, I love me some Urban Fantasy. I always seem to forget this fact, and get into accidental long stretches of not reading UF stuff. Every time a book in one of the UF series I follow comes out, it'll be a reminder that I should definitely consume some more. Written in... Continue Reading →
Review: Fionn – Defence of Ráth Bládhma by Brian O’Sullivan
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 →
Review: Fae – The Realm of Twilight by Graham Austin-King
I listened to the first volume of this series in audio late last year and so then immediately hoped and hoped for a volume two audiobook- and LO AND BEHOLD, IT IS HERE! I'm going to keep this as spoiler-free for both books as I can. The Wyrde is dead and gone, its protection passed... Continue Reading →
