I have fallen back into my own trap. After making some headway into my 2021 TBR, I have fallen behind again. However, this is more of a reflection on how busy (and lazy) I have been and not on this monster from KS Villoso – one of my favourite reads of recent years. In fact, I enjoyed this so much […]
A historical fantasy which blends mythology with the early days of the Norman invasion of England? Sign me up? I can’t remember where I heard about this book – perhaps on one of those Goodreads “Best Of” lists – but wherever it was, you have my thanks, as this was an enjoyable read. The story tells of a travelling Irish […]
Ever heard of the Night Vale podcast? I didn’t until I read the first novel Welcome to Night Vale, which I had had my eye on for some time. It was a delight, funny and weird and full of wonderful characters – even the lesser ones. The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home is pegged as book […]
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Ah, nothing like a bit of Sword & Sorcery to get your day started. To be honest, it’s probably been a while since I read some S&S, but it is a genre I like to read. I came across this in the Goodread’s Sword & […]
I have finally caught up to (not “with”) my 2021 reviews, but this is the first I will be posting on here. It should be a fun experience getting through 2021, as I read 197 reviewable “things” last year. I shall refer to them as “things” as some people take umbrage when we refer to “things” as books when they […]
Today is a big day for me. Today, I finally get through all my 2020 reviews. I’m writing this on May 9th 2022. Yes, I am that slow. To celebrate, I must first announce that I received a free copy from the author in return for an honest review. Despite what it says on my Twitter profile, all my opinions […]
This was recommended to me by some fellow reviewers so, having signed up for a Kindle Unlimited trial, I jumped at the chance to check it out. I even went so far as to leapfrog my epic review backlog to put the word out there… So, what’s it all about? Gera, now qualified as a blacksmith, decides to leave his […]
My dip into Kindle Unlimited continues, this time with An Altar on the Village Green by Nathan Hall, which has been getting some good praise on the review circuit. More excitingly, I finished it yesterday, so you don’t have to listen to my whining about how I read it a year ago. Hurrah!! So, what’s it all about? The world […]
I’ve heard a lot of talk of this book online, so I actually signed up for Kindle Unlimited just to read it. This is the author’s (Jeff Speight) first book and he has put out a solid first effort. The story tells of Umhra, a half-orc mercenary who is taking his small band of fellow half-orcs (the Bloodbound) to score […]
Hot on the heels of reading listening to my first ever Warhammer book, I read listened to my second. NOW I understand the popularity. Bear in mind that the target audience for this book is folks who love Warhammer and have a far greater knowledge of its universe than I do. I had to do a little research for this […]
