Hello Humans! Welcome to today's book review. I believe I've mentioned this before but Caroline Lawrence's The Roman Mysteries series was one of the series that really got me into reading as a child - after I was bought the first book as a present for a flight to Rome. They were also a big part of... Continue Reading →
Grace and Fury, Tracy Banghart – Book Review
Hello humans! Today I am delighted to be reviewing Grace and Fury, a YA fantasy (my wheelhouse) that is releasing in the UK on the 26th of July. This book is a book with many different elements to it, and I’m pleased to say it was much more than I expected it to be. I... Continue Reading →
Charmcaster, Sebastien De Castell – Book Review
Hello humans! I hope you are well and not struggling as much as I am with how darned fast this year is going! I swear this year, the only thing I’m on top of is my Goodreads challenge (it’s the important things). But enough about my spiral into the void! I’m here to review the... Continue Reading →
The Poppy War, R. F. Kuang – Book Review
Hello humans! Today’s review is, I believe, on quite a few people’s want-to-read lists. I’d encountered The Poppy War on many a Waiting on Wednesday post and in quite a few anticipated read lists as well. I’m bringing more adult fantasy reviews onto the blog as and when I can so I jumped at the... Continue Reading →
The Smoke Thieves, Sally Green – Book Review
Hello humans! We’re back in the safe, comfortable world of YA Fantasy after yesterday’s (incredibly successful) foray into contemporary. The Smoke Thieves was one of those books that I knew I wanted to read but it wasn’t high up on my priority list because it felt like it was going to be too much ‘demon’... Continue Reading →
The Queens of Innis Lear, Tessa Gratton – Book Review
Hello humans! Yesterday I reviewed The City of Brass which I thought was quite a long book. Today I’m reviewing another lengthy read from the Month of March. The Queens of Innis Lear is a lengthy 576 pages and honestly, I think it’s worth every word. This book is going even further to prove that... Continue Reading →
The City of Brass, S. A. Chakraborty – Book Review
Hello humans! I’m beyond thrilled to be bringing you my review of S. A. Chakraborty’s The City of Brass. This was one of the many HUGE books I read in March and it felt like such an achievement. At 533 pages this book is no small fry but every page is worth it! (Aside: is... Continue Reading →
Nightblade’s Honor, Ryan Kirk – Book Review
Hello humans! Sometimes in life, we read books that we don’t enjoy. Sometimes we then forget that we didn’t enjoy them and request the sequel on Netgalley. Sometimes we are too stubborn to DNF things and end up very frustrated. We live and we learn and we write the reviews… Remember back when I reviewed... Continue Reading →
The Wolf, Leo Carew – Book Review
Hello humans! You know those times when you try to push yourself out of your reading comfort zone and it ends up changing your world and zapping you out of that reading slump you’ve been in for a while? Yeah, this was not one of those times. I have some things to say about The... Continue Reading →
A Conjuring of Light, V. E. Schwab – Book Review
Hello humans! It is finally time. After gushing over A Darker Shade of Magic, and then squeeing like an excited child at Christmas at A Gathering of Shadows I have come now to do all of that and more at A Conjuring of Light. This series has been without a doubt, the best series I have read in an... Continue Reading →
The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night, Jen Campbell – Book review
Hello humans! I'm back with another short story compilation review! This book is one that I've had on my TBR for a shamefully long time. Something happened and this just fell through the cracks and into 2018! But I finally read it after seeing the physical book peeking at me through the Blackwell's shop window. The Beginning...

Girls Made of Snow and Glass, Melissa Bashardoust – Book Review
Hello humans! Since winter here in the UK still has a bit of bite left in it, I thought it would be timely to review a wintry read. Girls Made of Snow and Glass is a Snow White retelling (is this just the year of retellings on this blog? Maybe!) and describes itself as 'feminist' which... Continue Reading →
