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 →
The Wolf of Oren-Yaro, K. S. Villoso – Book Review
Hello Humans! After a bit of a focus on YA, I'm sliding back into some adult fantasy with the help of the delightful Moon who was kind enough to gift me a copy of The Wolf of Oren-Yaro which had been on my 'I really must read that at some point' list for...well...quite some time....

The Starless Sea, Erin Morgenstern – Book Review
Hello Humans! I have Asha from A Cat, A Book, and a Cup of Tea to thank for today's book, she was kind enough to gift me with a copy of The Starless Sea at Christmas time and I finally got round to reading it! I actually filmed a full video review of The Starless Sea so... Continue Reading →
Highfire, Eoin Colfer – Book Review
Hello Humans! It feels like a long while since I reviewed a book with dragons in - I think it would have been when I reviewed The Name of All Things back in November. I only have so many months I can go without getting my fix of winged lizards so I was excited to read Eoin Colfer's Highfire... Continue Reading →
The Monster Baru Cormorant, Seth Dickinson – Book Review
Hello Humans! It has, once again, been a bit of a while since I’ve written a book review (I wish I could claim Nano has been taking all my time but honestly I’ve just been in a bit of a creative slump! But I have managed to read MORE THAN ONE BOOK in November so... Continue Reading →
Ninth House, Leigh Bardugo – Book Review
Hello Humans! It is time. Time to review one of book twitter's most anticipated reads of 2019, this book has been flooding my timeline basically since it was announced and I was lucky enough to get a digital proof copy in order to share my opinions with you. I feel a lot of the hype... Continue Reading →
The Rage of Dragons, Evan Winter – Book Review
Hello Humans! I've been on a real fantasy kick lately (by which I mean fantasy that is not YA), I feel like this is the time of year for fantasy releases and my shelves are bowing under the weight of all the amazing books! One such book sent to me by the delightful people at Orbit... Continue Reading →
The Dragon Republic, R. F. Kuang – Book Review
Hello Humans! Are you prepared for the review of one of my most anticipated reads of 2019? Are you ready for some EMOTIONAL FLAILING?

An Illusion of Thieves, Cate Glass – Book Review
Hello Humans! I know I've said it before, but this time I mean it - I am devastatingly behind on writing book reviews! After reading a book every day in June I just lost all motivation to sit and write - we also moved house which might have something to do with it! But I'm... Continue Reading →
Gods of Jade and Shadow, Silvia Moreno Garcia – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I’m finally sitting down to write the book review for Gods of Jade and Shadow – which was, in fact, the first book I read as part of my A Book A Day in June challenge. I had high hopes going into this book, but I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect... Continue Reading →
Sanctuary, VV James – Book Review
Hello Humans! I’ve mentioned going along to the Gollancz blogger evening a few months ago – a great night hearing about all their upcoming releases, and mentally adding everything to my TBR. Well, at that event we got to hear from Vic James about her trip to Salem and how in inspired and influenced her... Continue Reading →
Dragon Heart, Peter Higgins – Book Review
Hello Humans! Now those who've been with me for a while, or those who follow me on Twitter will know that I have two loves, Dogs, and Dragons.
