Hello Humans! Today's review is for another anthology from Rebellion Publishing here in Oxford. I recently reviewed The Outcast Hours which was good but wasn't quite my cup of tea, so I was unsure as to how I would find New Suns, but I was confident that there would be at least a few stories that I would...

Girls of Paper and Fire, Natasha Ngan – Book Review
Hello Humans! I think I'm probably right in saying that Girls of Paper and Fire is on quite a few people's 'most anticipated' lists for 2018, and with the publication date right around the corner I am delighted to be able to share my thoughts with you. This Asian fantasy takes a familiar story and spins... Continue Reading →
Sawkill Girls, Claire Legrand – Book Review
Hello Humans! I did intend for the whole of October to be dedicated to scary, creepy, or generally just Halloween-themed books, but then there were a lot of new releases that didn't exactly fit the mould and I had to tweak my plans. However, today's book Sawkill Girl certainly hits the mark when it comes to... Continue Reading →
Shades Within Us – Mini Review
Hello Humans! It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed any kind of anthology but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to read Shades Within Us: Tales of Migrations and Fractured Borders, especially since I loved Where the Stars Rise so much. I used to find anthologies hard to read, feeling like I couldn’t get my... Continue Reading →

Children of Blood and Bone, Tomi Adeyemi – Book Review
Hello humans! Yes, it is time to review one of the most talked about books of 2018 (or at least that's how it feels). Before I start the review I have to give the most humongous shout out to the delightful Justine who sent me an ARC of this when I lamented waiting until May... Continue Reading →
Reign of the Fallen, Sarah Glenn Marsh – Book Review
Hello humans! Are you ready to talk about necromancy? (The correct answer to that is of course 'I was born (and will die) ready!'). Reign of the Fallen was one of my anticipated reads of 2018 and I couldn't resist preordering it to my kindle to get it as soon as humanly possible. I'm excited to... Continue Reading →
Where the Stars Rise, ARC Book Review
Hello Humans! Another anthology? I've been converted. A year ago I saw them as no more than things that would induce a reading slump. Now I'm actively searching for them. If you can find a theme you're into they can be a great way to discover new authors and get just a flavour of many... Continue Reading →
Awoke, K. T. Conte Book Review
Morning Mortals! Today I'm reviewing a book that I almost passed by when I saw it up for request on Netgalley. I'm beyond glad that I didn't as Awoke turned out to be an enjoyable read!
