Hullo and welcome to this tiny review, in which I will bitch and moan about Fool Moon for a wee bit! Why? Because #EverythingIsContent ! I listened to James Masters's reading of the first Harry Dresden novel almost two years ago -- my Goodreads shelf tells me I read it on June 29, 2017 --... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Gifts by Ursula Le Guin
I've been meaning to explore the great Ursula Le Guin's writing for a few years, now. I always thought I'd start with Earthsea if not for a serendipitous occasion in my new university library thanks to which I stumbled upon this, a short 280-page first part of a trilogy by the name of 'Annals of...

Book Review: The Crimson Campaign by Brian McClellan
Disclaimer: Spoilers for Promise of Blood's ending and minor spoilers for The Crimson Campaign. Read the review for Promise of Blood here. I read Promise of Blood within the span of three-four days. The Crimson Campaign, in contrast, I read over six adrenaline-fueled hours. For three-quarters of Campaign, my heart was in my throat, my... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Sangrook Saga by Steve Thomas
The Sangrook Saga is dark, and its pages are stained with blood. Or they might as well be. This, ladies and gentlemen, is one grimdark tale of necromancy and blood magic. It might unnerve you and make you uncomfortable and if you're not in for this sort of experience, you might as well stop reading... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Song by Jesse Teller
This book was provided by Rebekah Teller in exchange for a review! I can't recall whether it was supposed to be an honest review or a dishonest one, so I'll trust my fingers to guide me towards the more preferable type. Song took me a while to get through. On one hand, Song has an... Continue Reading →
Book Review: A Star Reckoner’s Lot
Disclaimer: This book has been kindly provided by Darrel Drake for free, in exchange for a review. No one said anything about being honest but I wasn't told to lie either, so it evens out somewhere along the line, I reckon. A Star-Reckoner's Lot has been an interesting ride, one that left me some strong impressions.... Continue Reading →
The Intentionally Unhelpful Villain #02: Acts of Villainy
Journal Entry The Third My brother, the big-time villain. Who does he think he is, smacking me around, placing chains of iron around MY person, threatening and cajoling me! I'll find his daughter, I will. The question is...where do I begin? ... I've been in a perpetual dream prison for years. The answer is obvious... Continue Reading →
Book Recommendation: The Dark Tower, Book 2 — The Drawing of Three
I'm very fond of Stephen King's Dark Tower. So fond, in fact, that I'm taking considerable time from an unfortunately busy schedule to reread and finish it (on my first read, I lost the thread at book 6, The Song of Susannah). I've already spoken about The Gunslinger, and the bell strikes for a recommendation... Continue Reading →
