Hello Humans! It's been a good time for sequels lately, and now that I actually have the time to re-read you can best believe I have been devouring both the originals and the new releases. One such sequel for which I was incredibly excited was Hollow Empire the follow on to one of my favourite... 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....

Ink in the Blood, Kim Smejkal – Book Review
Hello Humans! Do you have any tattoos? I have two and am getting a real itch for a third (non-tacky ideas appreciated), and seeing tattoos crop up in books always excites me! Having been somewhat disappointed by other tattoo-focussed books in the past, I was excited and a little wary about finally picking up the... 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...

Beyond the Shadowed Earth, Joanna Ruth Meyer – Book Review
Hello Humans! I did mean it about the January releases, next up is Joanna Ruth Meyer's Beyond the Shadowed Earth, which is set in the same world as (but is not a direct sequel to) Beneath the Haunted Sea. I actually haven't read anything by Joanna Ruth Meyer before - I had wanted to read Echo North last... Continue Reading →
The Shadow Saint, Gareth Hanrahan – Book Review
Hello Humans! There are so many wonderful books publishing at the start of this year, I can barely wrap my head around them all - but I'm doing my best to get reviews written! Today I'm reviewing the second book in Gareth Hanrahan's Black Iron Legacy series, I adored The Gutter Prayer and I was so excited to... Continue Reading →
Fate of the Fallen, Kel Kade – Book Review
Hello Humans! What happens when prophecies get messed up? When the wrong person ends up tackling the foretold task? Kel Kade explores this question in her book Fate of the Fallen which came out in mid-December (I'm catching up). I'm a sucker for an unlikely hero so I thought I'd give this book a try! Goodreads... 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 →
A Little Hatred, Joe Abercrombie – Book Review
Hello Humans! We've all got them, those authors that - for whatever reason - we just haven't read yet! For a while mine was Brandon Sanderson - but I'm working through that backlog now. So who was next? Well, it felt silly to be friends with Justine from over at I Should Read That and not... 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 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? Are you ready to read what amounts to one girl's efforts to collect up the shattered fragments of her soul and smoosh them back together into something vaguely resembling the original?... Continue Reading →
Magic for Liars, Sarah Gailey – Book Review
Hello Humans! I know, as readers, we're pretty fed up with the Harry Potter comparisons at this point. I'm fairly sure I've read more 'this is Harry Potter for adults' than I ever thought possible - and none of them were great. With that in mind, I went into Magic for Liars with a little bit...
