Can a murder mystery even BE cozy? Is that really a thing? I wouldn’t have sought this book out on my own, but the publisher reached out to me to see if I’d like to read it and the blurb caught me. A cozy murder mystery in space? I’ve been all about sci-fi lately, so […]
This book is the conclusion to the Ink & Sigil series, and it wraps all the important things up with a really nice, bloody bow. This book includes: hobgoblin legacies, socialist death cults, solved mysteries, Gladys Who Has Seen Some Shite (everyone’s favorite!), and an Irish death goddess deep in the perilous mines of online […]
This story does manage to do a few new things with portal fantasy, which is remarkable in a genre that has such a long history and contains Narnia and Alice in Wonderland. I was able to predict several parts of the ending pretty early in the book, but there are times when knowing what is […]
Honestly, I feel like this book is my reward for all the Eddings, Brooks, Goodkind, et al, that I spent reading as a child. If you spent a childhood reading as many high fantasy hero’s journeys as you could get your hands on… this book is redemption and reward. If you ever read any of […]
I’m sorry to have missed posting this before the release date, because now I have robbed you of several days in which you could have been reading this book. Road to Ruin is an adrenaline rush with an absolutely unique setting. The desert is almost a character in itself. It is filled with deadly storms […]
Here I go again, reading and reviewing a book that is not fantastical in any way, unless you count the fortune teller who started the whole thing. Our narrator is Annabelle Adams, great-niece to the extremely wealthy and paranoid Frances Adams. She’s called out to a sleepy country village for a meeting about her inheritance. […]
Godkiller was a book that I loved. It was about quests, and found families, and delicious revenge. And yet, if Godkiller was the pebble, then Sunbringer is the avalanche following right behind. Inevitable and full of characters with hard choices, I can’t help but think of it as a metaphor for US politics. First there’s […]
I’m not sure I’ve ever reviewed a book from this series before, but that’s not because I don’t love it. In fact, it’s probably in my top 3 favorite series of all time. Seanan McGuire’s mind is as methodical and bloody as something from a Saw movie (I assume… I’m too chicken to watch those). […]
Let me start off with: I had no intention of reading this book, and it could be objectively said that I read the whole thing against my will. In less than a day. And a book that can manage to do that deserves, at the very least, that I tell you about it. I shall […]
