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 […]
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 […]

Bershad proves to be remarkably capable,and 14 years and 65 dragons later, he’s still kicking around. […]
The author was very kind to throw a copy of his audiobook for Three of Swords for me. There were no expectations of a review, nor were my opinions altered by this. I also have the e-book, but opted for the audio version to jump my TBR. That’s the disclaimer bit out of the way. Now onto the review! The […]
