Hello Humans! I've been reading some truly wonderful stuff over the past month or so - a lot of which (shock horror) aren't review copies! I'm determined to write the reviews for the ones I have loved and here we are! Everyone and their mum has been talking about how great Raybearer is so when... Continue Reading →
Call of the Bone Ships, RJ Barker – Book Review
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another review along the lines of 'could this sequel possibly live up to the first book?' I read and adored The Bone Ships back in 2019 and a year on was still thinking about it ALL THE TIME. So you can imagine how excited I was to get to read... Continue Reading →
The Burning God, R.F. Kuang – Book Review
Hello Humans! I've been blessed this year with the opportunity to read some big endings to trilogies early. This is both a blessing and a curse because while I am the most impatient woman alive and cannot stand to wait until a publication date - this does also mean that I don't have anyone to scream...

Camelot Betrayal, Kiersten White, Book Review
Hello Humans! It's been a long time coming but I'm very excited to be reviewing book two in Kiersten White's Camelot Rising series - I thoroughly enjoyed The Guinevere Deception last year and when I was sent a review copy of book two there was quite a bit of delighted squealing in my house... I've... Continue Reading →
The Once and Future Witches, Alix E Harrow – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I'm reviewing the latest book from Alix E Harrow and I'm phenomenally excited to have received an ARC of this book mainly because my name and quote is in the inside back cover - life goal ticked off! So will this witchy book live up to the high standards of Ten Thousand Doors of... Continue Reading →
A Deadly Education, Naomi Novik – Book Review
Hello Humans! I am a big fan of pretty much every Naomi Novik book I have ever read (I still need to finish the Temeraire books please be patient with me) so A Deadly Education was very high up on my (mental) Most Anticipated Books for 2020 list. I was lucky enough to be granted access to... Continue Reading →
The Left-handed Booksellers of London, Garth Nix – Book Review
Hello Humans! I was a tad nervous going into this review. While I have loved Garth Nix's books in the past (Sabriel is on my list of all-time favourite settings gimme those necromancy bells) I have to say his adult stuff hasn't met the mark for me yet. I was deeply confused by Angel Mage and... Continue Reading →
Phoenix Extravagant, Yoon Ha Lee – Book Review
Hello Humans! It's been a while since we reviewed a book with dragons isn't it? Well today I'm back on my DRAGON train and there's no stopping me. Get excited for me to wax lyrical about this amazing new book from Yoon Ha Lee. Goodreads Summary: Dragons. Art. Revolution. Gyen Jebi isn’t a fighter or a... Continue Reading →
The Bone Shard Daughter, Andrea Stewart – Book Review
Hello Humans I'm actually in the process of producing a dedicated video review of this book for my Youtube channel (Dead Good Book Reviews if you fancy a look) so forgive me if this is a little short and sweet - I don't want to overlap too much! I adored this book and I'm so excited... Continue Reading →
The Four Profound Weaves, R. B. Lemberg – Book Review
Hello Humans! July Judith here writing another review that I know probably won't see the light of day until August/September because I did a lot of reading of review copies in the summer - oh well! Today I'm reviewing an LGBTQ+ novella that I think is something very exciting and special - keep on reading to... Continue Reading →
Wayward Witch, Zoraida Cordova – Book Review
Hello Humans! The Brooklyn Bruja series has been on my radar for quite some time now, I think probably since around the first time I went to YALC in 2017 - or was it 18? I genuinely can't recall. But I was delighted to have the opportunity to read and review the third book in the... Continue Reading →
Harrow the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir – Book Review
Hello Humans! Welcome to what is hopefully an anticipated review because obviously all of you keep up with my booktube channel and therefore are aware that I recently read Harrow the Ninth - the sequel to the award winning Gideon the Ninth which won me over with the dual promises of lesbians and necromancy. What... Continue Reading →
