The Ikessar Falcon by KS Villoso

The Ikessar Falcon by KS Villoso

Book two of The Chronicles of the Bitch Queen. In something rare in the last many years, I read this right after The Wolf of Oren-Yaro, and I loved it.  Disclaimer – I read this in May 2021, so forgive me if I’m a little hazy on some of the details. Will I ever get on top of my reviews? […]

Scions of Ikshvaku by Amish

Scions of Ikshvaku by Amish

If you follow my reviews, whether here or on Goodreads, you’ll know I’m not averse to reading books from other parts of the world.

Ascendant by Michael R Miller

Ascendant by Michael R Miller

Post #2 of Self-Published Author Appreciation Week belongs to Michael R Miller and his book Ascendant. I’ve been reading self-published books for maybe five years, and I feel like MRM has been around forever. This isn’t the first book of his that I have read (some may argue otherwise), but he kindly gave me an audio copy of his Dragon’s […]
