Rebel of the Sands, Alwyn Hamilton Book Review
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...

The Fate of the Tearling, Erika Johansen Book Review
Two years ago, when I read the first book in this series The Queen of the Tearling if you had stretched back into the past and asked how I thought the series would end I certainly wouldn't have predicted this. This post will definitely have spoilers for the first two books, I may need to make... Continue Reading →

The Wrath and the Dawn, Renée Ahdieh Book Review
Fun story, years and years ago I was in a school production of 'Arabian Nights' and all I can remember about it was sewing sequins onto a pair of Hareem pants. I'm fairly sure I had a part with lines, but all I can recall is sequins. Just goes to show shiny things are best.... Continue Reading →
Just Off the Path, Weston Sullivan ARC Review
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 →
