Hello Humans! Yes the day has come. After just under a year of nailbiting, unbearable waiting I have read Godsgrave the sequel to Jay Kristoff's Nevernight. I was approved to read this on Netgalley really close to the release date but I also treated myself to the Goldsborough signed edition with sprayed edges because I have 0... Continue Reading →
It's got a fair amount of fantasy and buckets of 'sass'* so what did I think of Rebel of the Sands? *So long as we're aware that I don't mean 'sass' as in 'lazy character writing' or 'thinly veiled way of saying the equally cliché 'strong female character'' Goodreads Summary: She’s more gunpowder than girl—and the...

Hello Humans! How art thou? I hope you're good and if you aren't I hope things pick up soon. Maybe go get a cup of tea? Coffee? Wine? Settle down at any rate and have a gander at my thoughts on Starborn. Goodreads Summary: Death and destruction will bar her way. . . Kyndra's fate holds... Continue Reading →
Prison break plots can make the most exciting books, I feel. So when the opportunity to read Prisoner of Ice and Snow arose I couldn't resist. This is listed as a Middle Grade title (but I'm 22 and I loved it) and involves many feats of daring do and a lovely sisterly bond, who could ask... Continue Reading →

You're not here to discuss the time of day (though feel free to comment if that's something you do want to discuss) you're here to hear my thoughts on Book of... Continue Reading →
Not at all what I was expecting. I guess this goes to show why you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I thought I was getting a generic monster slaying boring old paranormal novel. I didn't expect so many feelings! Goodreads Summary: Trudchen grew up hearing Odette’s stories of their monster-slaying mother and a... Continue Reading →
Magic mirrors always seem to make things go terribly wrong. I'm surprised they keep manufacturing them! This is a fairytale with a twist (a cliché I know but one that I'm not yet tired of). With lies, love and no small dose of magic, how does Just off the Path compare to the hoards of other... Continue Reading →
The more astute among you may have already realised that this is not the first time I've mentioned The Shadowed Sun. In fact it was a Want to Read Wednesday post where I talked about how I had finally found the series I had forgotten the name of. Well here's a bit of an update to... Continue Reading →
I admit it. I was drawn to this book because it had a shiny cover. I'm a magpie in bookshops I cannot resist a bit of foil. Shiny things. I actually bought this book because I am equally susceptible to circus themes. The Night Circus, Daughter of the Burning City, Flight of a Starling all of... Continue Reading →
Good morning humans! Today's book was the book that happened to come in the June Fairyloot book. This was the first time I didn't manage to guess what book was going to arrive so I was pleasantly surprised to get a copy of Roar which I have been meaning to read since all the ARC reviews...

When Shaun Hume emailed... Continue Reading →
