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....

Bloody Rose, Nicholas Eames – Book Review
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another review. Have you read Kings of the Wyld? Well imagine that but with a lesbian main character in the same universe who is also a bard but who likes to fight. Yeah...it's great. Kings of the Wyld, Nicholas Eames – Readalong - for those wanting to hear my thoughts... Continue Reading →
The Empire of Gold, S. A. Chakraborty – Book Review
Hello Humans. How am I supposed to write a coherent review for this book? No really, how? If you haven't encountered this series before then I highly suggest going back to the beginning and checking out The City of Brass and then the sequel The Kingdom of Copper because this is a trilogy not to be missed. Potential... Continue Reading →
Amarah, L. L. McNeil – Book Review
Hello Humans! If you've been hanging about the blog and the Booktube for some time you'll know that L.L. McNeil's Amarah has been sat on my TBR for an amount of time I can only describe as far too long. This series has a special sentimental spot in my heart as the author was actually the first...

The Blue Eye, Ausma Zehanat Khan – Book Review
Hello Humans! One of the things I love about my blogging journey is reading series, something about recording what you read and when makes reading a series all the more satisfying, I can (often vaguely) remember where I was when I was reading the previous book(s) in a series and I can look back on...

The Name of All Things, Jenn Lyons – Book Review
Hello Humans! Having just finished Seth Dickinson’s The Monster, apparently some part of me thought it would be a great idea to jump straight into another big fantasy book. I read Jenn Lyons’ The Ruin of Kings earlier in the year and had a great time, and I was amazed to get a copy of... Continue Reading →

Siege and Sacrifice, Charlie N Holmberg – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I'm reviewing the third book in Charlie N Holmberg's Numina trilogy. I love seeing trilogies through from start to finish and this was no exception (even if 47 North seem to have something against letting their authors have a rest between books). This series has certainly been interesting and I went into the... Continue Reading →
The Nightjar, Deborah Hewitt – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I’m reviewing The Nightjar – an adult fantasy book that takes on the difficult (to write not to read) ‘alternate London’ trope. I mean, it’s been done by some of the greats: Neverwhere is one of my favourite books/TV series and V.E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic series has four Londons! But this... Continue Reading →
Nocturna, Maya Motayne – Book Review
Hello Humans! I'm still here blasting through May releases like some kind of reading superhero (albeit a superhero that turns up a little bit late once all the fighting is done because she was really busy in April). Today I'm reviewing a YA fantasy Latinx-inspired novel, Maya Motayne's Nocturna. Goodreads Summary: Set in a Latinx-inspired world,... Continue Reading →
The Tangled Lands, Paola Bagicalupi, Tobias S Buckell – Readalong
Hello Humans! I'll admit, I was feeling a little defeated after my last readalong, I was heading dramatically slumpwards with no real feeling for what I wanted to read next. Enter the fabled TBR jar which prompted me to read The Tangled Lands. This was the perfect book for me to read as it is just the... Continue Reading →
The True Queen, Zen Cho – Book Review
Hello Humans! I'm finally catching up with some of my review copies for the start of April - I was so tired at the end of March that I fell further behind than I would normally like to (but also it feels as though SO many books got published in the last fortnight and there... Continue Reading →
